Bottlefire

Bottlefire converts container images into standalone, zero-dependency Linux executables that bundle Firecracker and launch microVMs automatically. It solves the problem of running containers without requiring root privileges or system-level setups, providing a simple way to execute containerized workloads on any modern Linux platform with KVM. The product targets developers, IT, and operations teams in B2B contexts, offering a free tier for official images and a subscription for private or public images. It is positioned as an open-source tool with a CLI called 'bake', delivering microVMs with zero-config networking, port mapping, and directory sharing.
