What is bootc VM management?

It is a specialized workflow that allows developers to run OCI container images as full virtual machines using the bootc virtualization kit (bcvk), enabling OS-level testing of containerized content.

How do I connect to a running bootc VM?

The skill provides a built-in SSH command that handles the connection details, defaulting to port 2222 and the root user for easy access to the VM environment.

Does this skill support ephemeral testing?

Yes, the skill includes a test mode that creates a temporary VM that boots to the console and is automatically destroyed once the session ends, perfect for quick verification.

Can I export my containers to standard disk images?

Absolutely. You can use the export command to convert OCI images into qcow2 or raw formats for use in external hypervisors or cloud environments.

What is the difference between bootc and traditional VMs?

Bootc VMs are sourced directly from container images, offering faster iteration and better alignment with container-native delivery pipelines compared to traditional QCOW2-based VMs.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Manages bootable container virtual machines using bcvk for rapid testing and deployment of OCI images.

概要

The bootc skill enables developers to manage bootable container VMs through the bcvk (bootc virtualization kit) interface directly within Claude Code. It simplifies the process of converting OCI container images into functional virtual machines, supporting both ephemeral modes for quick testing and persistent modes for development. This tool is essential for teams working with bootable containers who need to verify OS-level behaviors, test image exports to qcow2 or raw formats, and perform SSH-based debugging without the overhead of manual disk image construction.
