This command uses a tag published for this package. Confirm that its platform entry in the tags table matches your host architecture; :latest is not universally multi-platform.

how to use

Verified steps — with the smolvm CLI installed:

# Pull :latest — linux/amd64 only

smolvm pack pull registry.smolmachines.com/library/busybox:latest -o busybox.smolmachine

# Run a one-off command — ephemeral, the VM is discarded when it exits

smolvm pack run --sidecar busybox.smolmachine sh

# Or run it as a persistent machine — create, start, exec, stop

smolvm machine create --name busybox --from busybox.smolmachine
smolvm machine start --name busybox
smolvm machine exec --name busybox -- sh
smolvm machine stop --name busybox
