According to the official documentation at https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/master/docs/design.md firecracker should be started by the jailer program, which is part of the firecracker code repository: > In production environments, Firecracker should be started only via the jailer binary. The firecracker binary can also be executed directly, but this will no longer be possible in the future. The current Gentoo ebuilds for firecracker (all versions) compiles jailer but does not install the binary. The obvious fix to install the jailer binary along with the firecracker binary. I'll attach a modified ebuild (based on version 0.21.1). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge firecracker 2. jailer Actual Results: command not found: jailer Expected Results: jailer fails due to missing command line parameters
Created attachment 644312 [details] firecracker-0.21.1.ebuild Modified version of current firecracker ebuild that installs the jailer binary

(In reply to Mikle Kolyada from comment #3) > I think you may submit a pull request if you want your name on the commit > changes :) I don't care much about names, but if that helps getting this into the tree faster, I'm happy to help :) I rev-bumped the latest version as that seemed appropriate to me. If you prefer anything else, just let me know.
