Lume

What is Lume?

We just open-sourced Lume - a tool we built after hitting walls with existing virtualization options on Apple Silicon. No GUI, no complex stacks - just a single binary that lets you spin up macOS or Linux VMs via CLI or API. Why we built Lume: - Run native macOS VMs in 1 command, using Apple Virtualization.Framework: `lume run macos-sequoia-vanilla:latest`

Key features

• Prebuilt images on https://ghcr.io/trycua (macOS, Ubuntu on ARM)
• API server to manage VMs programmatically `POST /lume/vms`
• A python SDK on github.com/trycua/pylume
• Run prebuilt macOS images in just 1 step: lume run macos-sequoia-vanilla:latest
