Problem

As a web console user, I don't want to build my requirements as a squashfs file locally, before being able to upload it through the Aleph Cloud Console.

Solution

An Aleph VM as a FastAPI app that:

1. Accepts a user input:

• A list of Python requirements
• Or a package.json for Node.js projects

2. Builds a requirements squashfs file and uploads it to IPFS
3. Posts an Aleph message with the build logs
4. Returns the IPFS hash and the Aleph message hash to the user
