#### a small microVM runtime based on libkrun

ecrou boots disposable Linux environments as one-shot microVMs on
libkrun: it resolves an image reference, boots the microVM,
runs the command, and throws the machine away.
Volume sharing `-v` and other features are available.

## Install

ecrou is strictly confined.

```
 sudo snap install ecrou
```

## First run

Connect the KVM interface:

```
 sudo snap connect ecrou:kvm
```

Then run a microVM:

```
 ecrou run -it ubuntu
```

## Diagnostics

`ecrou probe` reports what a run would find: KVM, libkrun, the
cache directory.

## Configuration and cache

* image cache: `~/snap/ecrou/common/cache/ecrou`

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install ecrou

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
