SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates migrating NanoClaw from Docker to Apple Container on macOS, resolving compatibility issues with file mounts and enabling a macOS-native container runtime for stronger OS-level isolation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runtime migration: swaps the runtime binary and updates build and run scripts so containers use the Apple Container CLI and conventions.
  • Mount and entrypoint adjustments: converts Docker-style mounts to Apple Container --mount semantics and moves .env shadowing into the container entrypoint with a privilege-drop flow.
  • Verification and safety: runs unit tests, build checks, runtime status checks, and orphan cleanup to ensure a reliable transition.
  • Use cases: setting up NanoClaw on macOS, removing Docker as a dependency, or adopting macOS-native isolation for better security and compatibility.

Quick Start

Apply the convert-to-apple-container skill to update NanoClaw to Apple Container, run tests, and verify the runtime and mount behavior.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate a Docker container runtime to Apple Container on macOS?▼

Migrating a Docker container runtime to Apple Container on macOS involves swapping the runtime binary, converting mount syntax, adjusting entrypoint privilege-drop, and validating the transition with tests and runtime checks.

Does Apple Container provide stronger isolation than Docker for macOS containers?▼

Apple Container provides stronger macOS-native OS-level isolation than Docker, resolving file mount compatibility issues and removing external runtime dependencies for improved security on macOS.

How do I convert Docker-style mounts to Apple Container syntax?▼

To convert Docker-style mounts to Apple Container syntax, update build and run scripts to use --mount semantics and move .env shadowing into the container entrypoint with a privilege-drop flow.

Can I run NanoClaw without Docker using the macOS-native container runtime?▼

You can run NanoClaw without Docker by applying the macOS-native container runtime, which updates build scripts, runtime binaries, and orphan cleanup to follow Apple Container CLI semantics.

What are the limitations or precautions when switching to a macOS-native container runtime?▼

When switching to a macOS-native container runtime, ensure orphan cleanup and entrypoint privilege-drop follow Apple Container CLI semantics, and validate the transition using unit tests, build checks, and runtime status checks.
