Can I use this for ephemeral testing?

Yes, the 'ujust test bootc' command creates a temporary VM that is automatically deleted once you exit the console.

What is the difference between bootc and traditional VMs?

Unlike traditional VMs that use disk images, bootc creates VMs directly from OCI container images, allowing for faster testing and seamless container-to-OS workflows.

What export formats are supported?

You can export your bootable containers to QCOW2 (for QEMU/cloud) and raw disk image formats using the export command.

How do I access a running bootc VM?

You can connect via SSH using the 'ujust bootc ssh' command, which defaults to port 2222 for the root user.

Is home sharing supported in bootc VMs?

No, bootc VMs focus on testing the container image itself and do not support virtiofs home sharing like traditional libvirt-based VMs.

Manages bootable container virtual machines using bcvk for rapid testing and disk image exporting.

关于

The bootc skill enables Claude to manage bootable container images as virtual machines through the bcvk (bootc virtualization kit) toolset. It allows for the creation of both ephemeral, self-destructing test environments and persistent VMs directly from OCI container images, bypassing the need for traditional disk image building during development. This skill is essential for developers working with bootable containers who need to verify system behavior, test kernel-level changes, or export containerized OS images to formats like QCOW2 or raw disk images for cloud and hardware deployments.
