SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Switch the container runtime from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native isolation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Replaces Docker-based runtime with Apple Container API in MatClaw's core runtime tooling.
  • Shadowed environment and privilege-dropping workflow to run main containers as root for bind-mounts, then drop privileges for non-root operation.
  • Includes verification steps and build/test updates to ensure Apple Container compatibility across the stack.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch my container runtime from Docker to Apple Container on macOS?

To switch your container runtime from Docker to Apple Container on macOS, you replace Docker-based tooling with Apple Container API patterns, apply necessary code changes, update build configurations, and execute verification workflows to ensure compatibility.

What is Apple Container used for in a macOS deployment?

Apple Container is used for macOS-native isolation in deployments where Docker is unavailable or undesired. It provides a container runtime environment that leverages native macOS capabilities for running isolated workloads.

Does Apple Container support running containers as root for bind-mounts?

Yes, Apple Container supports a shadowed environment and privilege-dropping workflow. This allows you to run main containers as root to perform bind-mounts, then drop privileges for secure non-root operation.

How do I verify Apple Container compatibility after migrating from Docker?

You verify Apple Container compatibility by running included build and test updates across your stack. The skill guides you through specific verification workflows to confirm the new runtime operates correctly.

When should I use Apple Container instead of Docker on macOS?

Use Apple Container instead of Docker on macOS when Docker is unavailable or undesired, and you require macOS-native isolation for your deployment. It is particularly suited for Mac-based MatClaw deployments needing repeatable container configurations.
