Coding-agent sandbox — Node.js, Python, git, ripgrep, and build-essential with the OpenAI Codex CLI (`codex`) pre-installed. Bring your own API key at runtime.
smolvm pack pull registry.smolmachines.com/library/codex:latest Verified steps — with the smolvm CLI installed:
# Pull (Apple Silicon / arm64; use :amd64 on Intel/AMD)
smolvm pack pull registry.smolmachines.com/library/codex:arm64 -o codex.smolmachine # Run a one-off command — ephemeral, the VM is discarded when it exits
smolvm pack run --sidecar codex.smolmachine codex --version # Or run it as a persistent machine — create, start, exec, stop
smolvm machine create codex --from codex.smolmachine smolvm machine start --name codex smolvm machine exec --name codex -- codex --version smolvm machine stop --name codex Codex needs an OpenAI API key — set OPENAI_API_KEY in the VM environment to use it.
