This article is from February - we have since shipped the microvm sandbox engine as a seperate binary: sbx - no docker desktop required, small 50mb binary.

https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/

Not sure how well their work maps to sbx, but there has been multiple releases with features and improvements since then

Interesting to see the adjective "small" used to describe a single binary in the same amount of space used by an entire embedded Linux-based operating system.

> sbx - no docker desktop required

I usually run OrbStack instead of Docker Desktop on my Mac (Docker Desktop is installed on my system, just not running) and when I tried running sbx, it ignored my OrbStack setup and auto-launched Docker Desktop's daemon instead.

If it's possible to bypass that and tell sbx to use OrbStack instead, I'd love to know how.
