Drawing inspiration from the GraalVM JDK directory structure, I suggest placing all executable files—such as smolvm and smolvm-bin—in a bin directory. Template and configuration files—such as storage-template.ext4.zst and overlay-template.ext4.zst—should be placed in a conf directory. The root directory should be reserved solely for informational files, such as README.txt and LICENSE.txt. This approach ensures a clear directory structure and facilitates easier management. smolvm-1.13.0-darwin-arm64 directory layout: 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - . 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - ├── agent-rootfs 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── bin 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── dev 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── etc 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── home 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── lib 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── media 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── mnt 0755 drwxr-xr-x@ - │ ├── opt 0555 dr-xr-xr-x@ - │ ├── proc 0755 drw
As a companion to #1 , it would be handy to have something like a deny cidr, to more easily support allowing external hosts while rejecting network calls to internal resources. Example ( intending to allow connecting to public sites, but blocking internal networks ): [network] allow_cidrs = ["0.0.0.0/0"] # or with this config left out, if that makes more sense deny_cidrs = ["10.0.0.0/8", "172.16.0.0/12", "192.168.0.0/16"]
