pull

smolvm pack pull registry.smolmachines.com/library/node:22

how to use

Verified steps — with the smolvm CLI installed:

# Pull (amd64)

smolvm pack pull registry.smolmachines.com/library/node:amd64 -o node.smolmachine

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

smolvm pack run --sidecar node.smolmachine node -e "console.log('hello from Node ' + process.version)"

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

smolvm machine create --name node --from node.smolmachine

smolvm machine start --name node

smolvm machine exec --name node -- node -e "console.log('hello from Node ' + process.version)"

smolvm machine stop --name node
