vhaudiquet f963578152 feat(cli): re-exec with DYLD fallback paths set
The engine's dlopen of libkrunfw and mke2fs's of libarchive use bare
sonames, and dyld reads DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH once, at process
startup — a setenv afterwards is invisible to it. When the variable
is unset and the brew kegs exist, the CLI sets it and execv's itself:
exec restarts dyld, which reads the variable fresh. Library consumers
set the variable before their process starts instead (SPEC.md).

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))
}
