| 1 | //! macOS, and Linux without Sysbox: the sandbox is a small Linux VM booted |
| 2 | //! from the release's signed kernel, initrd and system disk. |
| 3 | //! |
| 4 | //! - **macOS: vfkit**, a small command line program over Apple's |
| 5 | //! Virtualization framework (`brew install vfkit`; the one Podman and |
| 6 | //! CRC use). Chosen over Lima, which shares the home folder unless told |
| 7 | //! otherwise and brings its own guest agent, and Apple's `container`, |
| 8 | //! which needs macOS 26 and runs one VM per container rather than one |
| 9 | //! for the runner. vfkit attaches only the devices named on its command |
| 10 | //! line, so the sandbox gets disks, a NAT network card, a console and a |
| 11 | //! random number source: no shared folder, no vsock, no display, no |
| 12 | //! clipboard. |
| 13 | //! - **Linux: QEMU with KVM**, the same VM: virtio-mmio devices on a |
| 14 | //! `microvm` (x64) or `virt` (arm64) machine, user-mode networking with |
| 15 | //! nothing forwarded in, and QEMU's seccomp sandbox on. |
| 16 | //! |
| 17 | //! The VM has three disks: its system (replaced by an update), the |
| 18 | //! runner's state (kept, so an update does not register again; formatted |
| 19 | //! by the guest the first time) and a seed the launcher writes, holding the |
| 20 | //! settings (guest.rs). It says how it is on its console, which the |
| 21 | //! launcher reads from a file; the launcher stops it through the |
| 22 | //! hypervisor's control socket, a Unix socket in the state folder, never a |
| 23 | //! network port. |
| 24 | //! |
| 25 | //! **Untested:** these command builders are tested here, but neither has |
| 26 | //! been run on a Mac or a Linux machine with KVM yet. |
