slim

Turning containers into bootable VMs

Example - Minimal Alpine Busybox

# Build the container
podman build ./example/alpine -t slim-alpine

# Make the container bootable by extracing initrd (initial ramdisk)
slim build qcow2 slim-alpine --init=/init

# Boot the image using QEMU, `./example/alpine/init` will drop you into an interactive shell.
slim run slim-alpine

# Cleanup
slim image rm slim-alpine
podman image rm slim-alpine
