🧱 easy fast local-first microVM library and toolkit

Portable, lightweight, self-contained virtual machine.

NixOS MicroVMs

Fork() for AI agent microVMs. Spawn 100 children in ~100ms from a warm parent; BRANCH a live VM in ~150ms. KVM-isolated, snapshot CoW.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking MicroVMs. Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs backed by containerd.

A multi-sandbox container runtime that provides cloud-native, all-scenario multiple sandbox container solutions.

Infrastructure that's powering E2B Cloud.

Dynamically provision Stateful Persistent Replicated Cluster-wide Fabric Volumes & Filesystems for Kubernetes that is provisioned from an optimized NVME SPDK backend data storage stack.

Give coding agents a disposable Linux VM, not your laptop

smolBSD is a tiny BSD UNIX (NetBSD) system creation tool, primarily aimed at building modern, lightweight, fast micro VMs

vHive: Open-source framework for serverless experimentation

Firecracker-like microVMs for Proxmox VE — KVM isolation, under 200 ms boot.

On-demand Linux computers you can hand to an AI — real Firecracker microVMs with a browser, terminal, coding agents, and an AI that drives them.

Run AI agents on real and isolated machines — own kernel, filesystem, and network — with <200ms boot. Local first, OCI compatible, pure Rust.

NixOS Hyperconverged Infrastructure on Nomad/NixOS

Self hosted cloud coding agent with k3s + kata containers + cloud hypervisor microVMs + tailscale + any harness + a nice iOS app

nomad task driver that uses firecracker to start micro-vms

Lightweight MicroVM engine built on Cloud Hypervisor. Features include OCI and cloud image support, instant snapshot and clone via reflink, Windows 11 guest support, CNI networking with TC redirect, memory balloon, hugepages, and a Docker-like CLI. Designed for AI sandboxing, cloud desktops, and ephemeral dev environments.
