vhaudiquet 73eaeb57ac feat(distro): ubuntu-base from real releases, codename and number aliased
Ubuntu tarballs came from the daily/current directories - moving
targets, no published checksums guarantee, gone when a release
EOLs. resolve_ubuntu_url now builds the cdimage release URL:
ubuntu-base/releases/<YY.MM>/release/ubuntu-base-<YY.MM>-base-<arch>.tar.gz,
whose SHA256SUMS the existing checksum verification consumes.

Resolution returns the YY.MM number (the cache key follows), and
accepts the codename interchangeably: a static table maps the
known codenames offline - ubuntu:resolute and ubuntu:26.04 are the
same image and the same entry - with meta-release as a fallback
for codenames newer than the table. Floating aliases (latest/lts)
still consult meta-release; explicit numbers never touch the
network, which also removes the per-cache-path network lookup
generate_cache_filename used to trigger for codename inputs.

URLs verified live: tarball and SHA256SUMS both 200.

ecrou

a small microVM runtime based on libkrun

Try ecrou in the terminal

Installation

ecrou is available as a strictly confined snap:

sudo snap install ecrou
sudo snap connect ecrou:kvm

Usage

$ ecrou run -it ubuntu
root@ecrou-vm-m2glhl:/# 

Embed ecrou into your project

ecrou is both a library and a tiny CLI frontend around it. The library is embeddable into any project, allowing to use microVMs easily.

Rust

ecrou is a Rust library, which can just be called:

use ecrou::vm::RunOptions;
use ecrou::NoProgress;

fn main() -> ecrou::Result<std::process::ExitCode> {
    let code = ecrou::vm::run(
        &RunOptions {
            image: "ubuntu:resolute".into(),
            command: vec!["uname".into(), "-a".into()],
            ..RunOptions::default()
        },
        &NoProgress,
    )?;
    Ok(std::process::ExitCode::from(code.clamp(0, 255) as u8))
}
