A real arm64 Linux machine, compiled to WebAssembly, boots containerd and dockerd right here. Pull an image, run a container, open a shell — nothing to install.
rustvm runs a whole Linux machine inside the page, which needs a few things only some browsers have today:
It works today in Chrome or Edge 133+ on a desktop or laptop with 8 GB of memory or more.
Click the terminal and type, or pick a command. Images you pull stay in this browser for your next visit.
An AArch64 emulator written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly translates Linux programs as they run. The containerd, dockerd and runc you're talking to are the stock arm64 builds.
Images, containers and Docker's state are kept in this site's private browser storage (OPFS), so a second visit boots in seconds with everything still there. Reset state clears it.
