I have a binfmt configuration setup to use wasmtime like this:
:wasm32-wasi:M::\x00asm:\xff\xff\xff\xff:/run/binfmt/wasmtime:
It might be useful to others. Some documentation or an example .conf could be provided.
Fun! I agree, it'd be nice to document this.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/binfmt.d.html#
Looks like dropping that binfmt string into /etc/binfmt.d/wasmtime.conf should be enough on systemd systems. After that, I loaded the config by restarting the systemd-binfmt.service unit.
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
After that, I can execute wasm binaries directly.
As soon as wasmtime depends on you specifying command line flags sometimes, this has limited application.
It probably needs more thinking and involved establishing a "contract" within wasmtime that a user should always get a full experience without any flags.
I just added a Docker image to make this easy to try out with minimum setup work. Info available at https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/renefonseca/wasmtime .
This is untested, but an example to play with for the wast files I think should look like this.
:wasm32-wast:E:0:wat::/run/binfmt/wasmtime:
