FAQPage Schema
How do I switch from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native isolation?

To switch from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native isolation, apply the runtime changes via the Skill engine, which replaces the existing runtime while preserving external interfaces. It enforces directory-based mounts and drops privileges during deployment.

What is Apple Container isolation and how does it shadow host secrets?

Apple Container isolation provides macOS-native runtime security by integrating the Apple Container API. It shadows host secrets directly inside the container entrypoint and drops privileges to improve security without altering existing workflows.

Does Apple Container runtime work with my existing Docker deployment interfaces?

Yes, the Apple Container runtime works with existing interfaces by minimizing changes to the container runner and Skill engine workflow. It applies directory-based mounts to ensure compatibility during macOS deployments and development setups.

Why drop privileges when running Apple Container in a macOS environment?

Dropping privileges when running Apple Container in a macOS environment improves security by reducing root-level access. The runtime shadows host secrets inside the container entrypoint and applies privilege dropping while maintaining native isolation.

What are the limitations of using directory-based mounts with Apple Container?

The Apple Container runtime enforces directory-based mounts to align with macOS-native isolation requirements. Users must ensure their host paths and secrets conform to this directory-based structure, as other mount types are not supported by this configuration.
