Is there a way to store configuration/data of applications running on a Bhatti VM on the host, ala Docker volumes?

Yes! Checkout the bhatti volume

They are ext4 blocks which exist independent of sandboxes.

Wow, that’s quite nice! I see that’s at VM time, any plans to add the ability to add them after the fact? I am really enjoying bhatti!
