Getting started

Getting started

Dicer runs container images as virtual machines: each workload gets a kernel of its own, behind a hypervisor, and is still started with one command from an image you already have. It suits workloads that need more isolation than a container gives, or a whole machine: untrusted code, CI runners, services that need their own kernel.

Getting started takes two steps: install Dicer on a Linux host with KVM, then boot a first instance from a container image.
