it's been mentioned on this thread already, we think https://github.com/superradcompany/microsandbox/ is the closest OSS to it and we have a great DX and improving.

that's the tldr. we used fuse and we learnt we shouldn't for a sandbox filesystem

interested. is the split for dedup, parallel pulls, or lazy loading specific files? maybe all. we've played with some chunking ideas on our end but haven't landed on a format. drop…

fair point. that's the title we used on our X article and i copy-pasted. updated the article's actual title.

What do you mean?

Not sure what that entails. You can try and I can help along the way

Wow. Just seeing this. I've not done proper benchmarking yet but rn we are lagging behind in file I/O for the OverlayFS impl

They are similar. We use libkrun under the hood. Firecracker team seems not to be interested in a macOS implementation

Katacontainers is an interesting project. Microsandbox is a more opinionated project with a UX that focuses on getting up and running with microVMs quickly. I want this experience …

No they are not.

If by embeddable, you mean having the vm run in the same process, then no. The vm aborts its process when it's done so it has to run as separate process.

Will fix the docs

We support just Docker hub for now. Let me know if you want any other OCI-compatible registry. PS: microsandbox will likely have its own OCI registry in the future

They are Linux VMs and you can host any executable that can work on that. The python/node environment you see is part of what makes the SDK work. Really, it's very similar to Docke…

Your statement initially went over my head. Sorry lol. You can always download the installer script and audit yourself. I will set up proper distribution later.

Right. You can skip the `with` context manager and call start and stop yourself. There is an example of that here: https://github.com/microsandbox/microsandbox/blob/0c13fc27ab...

It will be maintained as I will be using it for some other product. And it will be audited in the future but it still early days.

> can you share some thoughts on how you compare or future direction? Microsandbox does not offer a cloud solution. It is self-hosted, designed to do what E2B does, to make it easi…

We want microsandbox to be usable for everything you can with Docker. That said, hosting microVMs require dedicated hardware or VMs with nested virt support. Containers don’t have …
