I'm interested in using these images on exe.dev. exe supports any oci images and stands it up as a microvm, in which it would be used non-ephemerally from that point. I'm assuming the images don't have any rc/services. How hard would it be to pull that back in after image deployment? (Also looks like I'd want to use the -dev images which include shell/apk, etc)

Correct they do not have any rc
I’m not personally familiar with exe.dev but if it can run normal OCI images it should be pretty simple to use ours. If you want a shell and package manager and some common busybox applets, -dev variants are the best option.
