no-conversion without imagemounter

[samyfodil]

Using imagemounter, which works great for browsers, comes with some unnecessary overhead. This is an alternative solution that bypasses the network and uses the built-in WASI capability to map folders. WASI filesystem does not have permissions. To overcome this, we export the container rootfs as a SquashFS image.

Goal:

wazero run --mount /tmp/riscv-python:/ext/bundle riscv64-squash.wasm python

Or,

wazero run --mount /tmp/riscv-python:/some/folder riscv64-squash.wasm --external-bundle /some/folder python

Thanks!

nit: could you rebase the commit on the latest main to pass CI.

[ktock]

Squashfs comes with some overhead, right?. Can we default to isofs and enable squashfs only for d2oci usage?

[samyfodil]

True. It adds a bit of overhead but cut's the size of the image by about half. I'll add a built option

[samyfodil]

Added iso back. Added erofs (faster as it aligns data).

[ktock]

Can we implement this to c2w and enable this using a flag like --to-squashfs?

[ktock]

Can we use filepath.IsAbs https://pkg.go.dev/path/filepath#IsAbs ?

[ktock]

Could you add docs about /ext/bundle? Or, this path should be configurable.

[samyfodil]

It's configurable. I'll add clarifications to readme.

Please fix linter errors as well.
