Top-level helpers

client.*

client.health

GET/healthz
client.health(): APIPromise<HealthResponse>

Description

Health check

Returns

client.uploadhelper

client.upload(
  vmId: string,
  localPath: string,
  remotePath: string,
  opts?: { fetchTimeoutSec?: number; execTimeoutSec?: number },
): Promise<void>

Description

Copy a local file or directory into the VM. Uses vms.files.presign and vms.files.fetch under the hood. Directories are tarred on the fly before upload and extracted VM-side after fetch.

Streams end-to-end with no intermediate copy to /tmp on the client, so multi-GB transfers are bounded by VM disk, not RAM. Directory mode needs the tar binary on the client's PATH (standard on macOS and Linux; available on modern Windows via bsdtar).

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
vmIdstringrequiredTarget VM id.
localPathstringrequiredLocal file or directory path.
remotePathstringrequiredDestination path inside the VM.
opts.fetchTimeoutSecnumber600Timeout on the VM-side /files/fetch call.
opts.execTimeoutSecnumber600Timeout on VM-side tar extraction.

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

typescript
await client.upload(vm.id, './config.toml', '/etc/app.toml');
await client.upload(vm.id, './src', '/root/src');

client.downloadhelper

client.download(
  vmId: string,
  remotePath: string,
  localPath: string,
  opts?: { fetchTimeoutSec?: number; execTimeoutSec?: number },
): Promise<void>

Description

Copy a file or directory from the VM to the client. Uses vms.files.presign plus a VM-side exec to classify the path and stream its contents out. Directories are tarred VM-side and un-tarred on the client, rooted at ./ so upload and download are symmetric.

Streams end-to-end with no intermediate copy. Missing paths raise FileNotFoundError (Python) or FileTransferError with code: 'ENOENT' (TypeScript).

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
vmIdstringrequiredTarget VM id.
remotePathstringrequiredSource path inside the VM.
localPathstringrequiredDestination path on the client.
opts.fetchTimeoutSecnumber600Timeout on VM-side /files/fetch.
opts.execTimeoutSecnumber600Timeout on VM-side exec.

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

typescript
await client.download(vm.id, '/root/out.log', './out.log');
await client.download(vm.id, '/var/log', './log-backup');

client.waitForVmReadyhelper

client.waitForVmReady(
  vmId: string,
  opts?: { pollIntervalMs?: number; timeoutMs?: number },
): Promise<VM>

Description

Poll GET /v1/vms/{id} until the VM reaches status == "running" or a terminal failure status. Same polling logic as vms.launch; use this when you already have a VM id from vms.list() or another flow.

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
vmIdstringrequiredTarget VM id.
opts.pollIntervalMsnumber2000Milliseconds between polls.
opts.timeoutMsnumber300000Total wait deadline in ms.

Returns

Promise<>

Example

typescript
let vm = await client.vms.retrieve(someId);
vm = await client.waitForVmReady(vm.id, { timeoutMs:  });

client.vms.*

client.vms.list

GET/v1/vms
client.vms.list(
  status: VMStatus,
): APIPromise<VM[]>

Description

List VMs

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
statusVMStatusRestrict to VMs with this status. Accepts any value of VMStatus; unknown values return an empty list.

Returns

[]

client.vms.launchoverride

POST/v1/vms
client.vms.launch(
  params: VmLaunchParams,
  options?: RequestOptions,
  launchOpts?: { wait?: boolean; pollIntervalMs?: number; timeoutMs?: number },
): APIPromise<VM>

Description

Launch a VM and (by default) block until it reaches status == "running". POST /v1/vms returns 201 for immediately-running VMs and 202 for queued VMs; the override handles both paths transparently by polling GET /v1/vms/{id}.

Pass wait=false (TS) / wait=False (Python) to skip polling and return the raw 201/202 body. Pass snapshot_id / snapshotId to restore from a snapshot instead of cold-booting.

Terminal failure statuses (error, stopped, deleting) raise VMLaunchError. Polling-deadline exceeded raises VMNotReadyError.

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
paramsVmLaunchParamsrequiredGenerated launch params (machineType, snapshotId, name, metadata, firewall).
optionsRequestOptions | undefinedundefinedGenerated per-request options (headers, signal, timeout, etc.).
launchOpts.waitbooleantrueBlock until RUNNING. Set false for raw 201/202 behavior.
launchOpts.pollIntervalMsnumber2000Milliseconds between polls (±10% jitter applied).
launchOpts.timeoutMsnumber300000Total polling deadline in ms. Throws VMNotReadyError on exceed.

Returns

APIPromise<>

Example

typescript
import { FastvmClient } from 'fastvm';

const client = new FastvmClient();
const vm = await client.vms.launch({ machineType: 'c1m2', name: 'dev' });
console.log(vm.id, vm.status); // "running"

// Restore from snapshot
const fromSnap = await client.vms.launch({ snapshotId: 'snp_...' });

// Skip polling — returns the raw 201/202 body
const queued = await client.vms.launch(
  { machineType: 'c1m2' },
  undefined,
  { wait: false },
);

POST/v1/vms/{id}/exec
client.vms.run(
  id: string,
  params: VmRunParams,
  options?: RequestOptions,
): APIPromise<ExecVMResponse>

Description

Execute a command inside a VM. Same generated method as upstream. TypeScript doesn't silently iterate strings into characters, so no shell-string auto-wrap helper is needed. Pass an argv array directly.

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
idstringrequiredTarget VM id.
paramsVmRunParamsrequiredRequest body (command: string[], timeoutSec?: number).
optionsRequestOptions | undefinedundefinedGenerated per-request options.

Returns

APIPromise<>

Example

typescript

client.vms.streamhelper

client.vms.stream(
  id: string,
  body: VmRunParams,
  opts?: StreamOptions,
): AsyncIterable<ExecEvent>

Description

Stream exec output as typed events via Accept: application/x-ndjson.

Same endpoint as vms.run (POST /v1/vms/{id}/exec), but the server emits a newline-delimited stream of ExecEvent objects instead of a single buffered JSON response. Events are:

  • "o" — stdout chunk (decoded bytes in data)
  • "e" — stderr chunk (decoded bytes in data)
  • "x" — terminal exit event (exit_code, timed_out, duration_ms)

There is no 4 MiB per-stream cap on output. The HTTP connection stays open until the command exits or timeout_sec fires server-side. Use this for long-running processes (builds, test runners, live logs) where you need incremental output without buffering the entire result.

Shell strings (Python only) are auto-wrapped into ["sh", "-c", ...] exactly like vms.run.

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
idstringrequiredTarget VM id.
bodyVmRunParamsrequiredRequest body (command: string[], timeoutSec?: number, stdin?: string).
opts.timeoutMsnumberundefined (no client-side timeout)Client-side HTTP abort deadline in milliseconds.

Returns

AsyncIterable<>

Example

typescript
import { FastvmClient, type ExecEvent } from 'fastvm';

const client = new FastvmClient();
for await (const event of client.vms.stream(vm.id, { command: ['make', '-j8'] })) {
  if (event.type === 'o') process.stdout.write(event.data);
  else if (event.type === 'e') process.stderr.write(event.data);
  else if (event.type === 'x') console.log(`exit ${event.exitCode} in ${event.durationMs}ms`);
}

Builds

client.builds.*

client.builds.create

POST/v1/builds
client.builds.create(
  name: string,
  imageRef: string,
  dockerfileContent: string,
  machineType: MachineType,
  diskGiB: number,
  contextDownloadUrl: string,
): APIPromise<BuildResponse>

Description

Build a snapshot from an image ref or Dockerfile

Parameters

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
namestringOptional human-readable name for the resulting snapshot. If omitted, the build ID is used.
imageRefstringDocker image reference (e.g. python:3.13-slim, ghcr.io/user/repo:tag). Used directly on the no-Dockerfile path, and as a fallback FROM source otherwise.
dockerfileContentstringRaw Dockerfile content to feed to buildah bud inside the build VM. Multi-stage, SHELL, RUN --mount, and every standard Dockerfile feature is supported (handled natively by buildah). Container-runtime metadata (CMD, ENTRYPOINT, EXPOSE, LABEL, HEALTHCHECK) is consumed by buildah but does not surface on the resulting FastVM snapshot — when the snapshot boots, systemd takes over, not the container's CMD.
machineTypeMachineType
diskGiBnumberDisk size for the build VM. Defaults to 10 GiB if omitted.
contextDownloadUrlstringPresigned GET URL for a tar.gz of the build context. The worker downloads and extracts this into /tmp/buildctx before invoking buildah, so COPY instructions resolve against the user's files. Obtain via POST /v1/build-contexts/presign.

Returns

Example

typescript
// Raw call (returns 202 immediately; poll for completion).
const build = await client.builds.create({

DeleteResponse

object
FieldTypeDescription
idstring
deletedboolean

VMStatus

primitive
Lifecycle status. Known values: provisioning, running, stopped, pausing, paused, resuming, deleting, error. Terminal failure statuses are error and stopped; transitional values (provisioning, pausing, resuming, deleting) indicate the VM is in flight. Additional values may be introduced in future server versions; clients should treat unknown values as "in transition" rather than as hard errors.

SnapshotStatus

primitive
Snapshot lifecycle status. Known values: creating, ready, error. Additional values may be introduced in future server versions.

MachineType

primitive
Machine size identifier (e.g. c1m2, c2m4). Controls CPU and memory allocation. Must be supplied on launch unless restoring from a snapshot.

firewallFirewallPolicy
effectiveFirewallunknownRead-only composed view: firewall (the user policy) unioned with per-service auto-rules from this VM's registered services. Each auto-rule has source CIDR ::/0 and a description of the form auto: proxy service <name>. The same policy is what the worker firewall actually enforces. Set firewall to mutate; this field is computed per-response from firewall and the current service registry, never persisted.

PolicyAction

enum
Allow/deny verb. Used both as the per-direction default posture and as each rule's action.
allowdeny

IngressRuleKind

enum
Ingress rule kind. Only cidr is supported — inbound packets don't carry a domain the worker could match on without TLS interception.
cidr

EgressRuleKind

enum
Egress rule kind. - cidr: match by destination IP/CIDR + port/proto. - fqdn: match by destination domain (resolved through the in-process DNS resolver) + port/proto. Resolved IPs land in a per-rule dynamic nft set; the chain emits one rule per fqdn rule keyed on (set, proto, port). Port/proto enforcement on fqdn rules is honest — the prior kind: domain shape with a shared allow-set silently ignored them. Fqdn values accept an optional leading *. wildcard (e.g. *.example.com). Bare wildcards and non-leading wildcards are rejected. Wildcards match one-or-more labels left of the suffix and do not match the apex (matches DNS wildcard semantics).
cidrfqdn

DNSMode

enum
Toggles the meaning of dns.domains. - allow: allowlist — only listed domains can resolve; any other query returns NXDOMAIN. - deny: blocklist — listed domains return NXDOMAIN; all other queries resolve through the upstream resolver. Default is deny with an empty list, which means "resolve everything" — the safe default that preserves existing behavior when callers omit the dns block.
allowdeny

IngressRule

object
FieldTypeDescription
actionPolicyAction
kindIngressRuleKind
valuestringCIDR (e.g. ::/0, 10.0.0.0/8). IPv4 and IPv6 CIDRs are both accepted in the schema; L3 enforcement coverage per family is a worker-side concern.
protocol"tcp" | "udp" | "any"
portsstringSingle port (443), inclusive range (8080-8090), or any. When protocol is any, ports MUST be any.

rulesIngressRule[]

EgressRule

object
FieldTypeDescription
actionPolicyAction
kindEgressRuleKind
valuestringFor kind: cidr, an IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR. For kind: fqdn, a domain name with optional leading *. wildcard. Must be reachable through the dns gate — a fqdn value blocked by dns.mode/dns.domains is rejected at PUT time as a dead rule.
protocol"tcp" | "udp" | "any"
portsstringSingle port (443), inclusive range (8080-8090), or any. When protocol is any, ports MUST be any.
descriptionstring

EgressPolicy

object
FieldTypeDescription
defaultPolicyAction
rulesEgressRule[]

DNSPolicy

object
DNS-layer filtering, independent of egress L4 rules. The resolver applies the DNS gate BEFORE L4 enforcement; a domain blocked here returns NXDOMAIN regardless of what egress.rules says about its IPs. All fields are optional — the server defaults mode to deny when missing, domains to [], and blockBypass to false (see normalizeDNSPolicy in scheduler/internal/httpapi/firewall.go).
FieldTypeDescription
modeDNSMode
domainsstring[]
blockBypassbooleanWhen true, the worker denies DoT (TCP 853) and the known public DoH endpoint IPs at the nft layer so guests cannot sidestep the in-process resolver. Default false — turning this on breaks workloads that legitimately reach 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 / etc. on TCP/443 for non-DoH reasons (e.g. services whose data plane lives on a Cloudflare anycast IP). Operators who enable DNS allowlist mode typically also flip this on explicitly.

FirewallPolicy

object
Top-level firewall policy with three independent axes. All sub-blocks are optional — the server substitutes the safe default (ingress deny / egress allow / dns mode=deny + empty) for missing blocks. Sending firewall: null on VM create is also valid.
FieldTypeDescription
ingressIngressPolicy
egressEgressPolicy
dnsDNSPolicy

SnapshotService

object
Captured (name, port, h2c) tuple for a single service registration on a snapshotted VM. Carried across snapshot/ restore by POST /v1/vms (snapshot-restore branch) so the new VM gets the same service registrations the source VM had at snapshot time.
FieldTypeDescription
namestring
portnumber
h2cboolean

BuildResponse

object
Build state snapshot. Returned by POST /v1/builds (initial pending state) and GET /v1/builds/{id} (current state on each poll).
FieldTypeDescription
idstringBuild ID (UUID). Use this to poll status.
namestring
statusstringCurrent state. Known values: pending (accepted, not yet started), running (worker is executing), completed (snapshot is ready), failed (build did not produce a snapshot). Additional values may be introduced in future server versions; clients should treat unknown values as "in progress" rather than as hard errors.
snapshotIdstringSet when status is completed. Fetch the corresponding Snapshot record via GET /v1/snapshots/{id}.
imageRefstring
progressstringHuman-readable phase string while the build runs (e.g. creating build VM, buildah pull, buildah bud, applying image, settling VM, creating snapshot). Not present after a terminal status.
errorstringSet when status is failed. Diagnostic from the worker (truncated to ~4 KiB).
createdAtstring

Metadata

object
Free-form string→string map. Server-enforced limits: up to 256 keys, key length 1–256 bytes, value length ≤4096 bytes, total JSON encoding ≤65536 bytes.

EnvVars

object
Environment variable string→string map injected into the VM at boot. Keys must be 1–256 bytes and match shell-variable name ([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*); values may not contain newline, carriage return, or null bytes. Total JSON encoding ≤65536 bytes.

ExecEvent

object
One event in the NDJSON exec stream returned by POST /v1/vms/{id}/exec under Accept: application/x-ndjson. Short field names (t, d, c, to, ms) keep per-chunk overhead small since high-output commands can produce thousands of events per exec.
FieldTypeDescription
t"o" | "e" | "x"Event type: o = stdout chunk, e = stderr chunk, x = terminal exit event.
dstringFor o/e: base64-encoded raw bytes of the chunk. For x: optional diagnostic string (e.g. spawn failure) when non-empty.
cnumberExit code. Present on x events only.
tobooleanTrue if the command was killed by the timeout. x events only.
msnumberGuest-reported duration in milliseconds. x events only.

ExecVMResponse

object
Buffered response shape for POST /v1/vms/{id}/exec under Accept: application/json. The server collects the streamed events and returns this aggregate once the command exits. Per-stream output is capped at 4 MiB; overflow bytes are dropped and signalled via stdoutTruncated / stderrTruncated. Streaming clients (Accept: application/x-ndjson) receive every byte without a cap.
FieldTypeDescription
exitCodenumber
stdoutstring
stderrstring

FilePresignResponse

object
Pair of signed URLs scoped to the same per-VM staging object. Usable in either direction: either side (client or VM) PUTs bytes to uploadUrl, and either side GETs them back via downloadUrl. URLs expire after expiresInSec seconds and the staging object is auto-deleted after about a day.
FieldTypeDescription
uploadUrlstringPresigned PUT URL for the staging object. Accepts Content-Type: application/octet-stream. Used by the client on upload, or by the VM (via an exec'd curl -T -) on download.
downloadUrlstringPresigned GET URL for the same staging object. Used by the VM (via POST /v1/vms/{id}/files/fetch) on upload, or by the client (via httpx.stream / curl) on download.
expiresInSecnumberLifetime of both URLs in seconds.
maxUploadBytesnumberUpper bound on upload size (equals the VM's disk size in bytes).
