Show HN: Convert your Containerfile to a bootable OS

• podman-desktop-extension-bootc

  Erlang on Xen

  

On a tangential note, does anyone here remember Erlang on Xen [0]? It's a project from a decade ago, allowing you to package your code to run directly on the hypervisor without an OS. I really liked that approach and am wondering why it seems to have hit a dead end.

• d2vm

  2 197 5.3 Go

  Build Virtual Machine Image from Dockerfile or Docker image

  

https://github.com/linka-cloud/d2vm does a similar thing an I‘ve used it successfully

• peckish

  2 37 9.1 Rust

  peckish (case-sensitive) is a CLI tool/Rust library for (re)packaging Linux software artifacts.

Somewhat-related, a project of mine (https://github.com/queer/peckish) allows for converting docker images to ext4 images.

• distrobox

  403 9,061 9.6 Shell

  Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox

That seems more like Distrobox to me(?) https://distrobox.it/

• elemental-toolkit

  7 264 9.4 Go

  :snowflake: The toolkit to build, ship and maintain cloud-init driven Linux derivatives based on container images

  

There's also Elemental which is SUSE-oriented but distro agnostic https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit

I've been hoping NixOS moves in this direction over time, the distribution/rollout aspect seems under-baked currently.

• ucore

  2 89 8.4 Shell

  An OCI base image of Fedora CoreOS with batteries included

  

uCore does this if you wanna check it out: https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore

• nanos

  28 2,483 9.2 C

  A kernel designed to run one and only one application in a virtualized environment

  

Erlang on Xen was most definitely an inspiration behind what we're working on with https://nanos.org .

• alpine-make-vm-image

  1 285 6.3 Shell

  Make customized Alpine Linux disk image for virtual machines

  

I understand this is similar to alpine-make-vm-image [0] or nixos-generators [1]

By the way, is there a way to create minimal NixOS VMs without systemd?
