What problem does it solve?

Switch from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native container isolation, enabling native runtime on Apple hardware and improved security and performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Replaces Docker with Apple Container as the container runtime on macOS.
  • Updates configuration, entrypoints, and build scripts to use the Apple Container binary.
  • Applies when macOS users want native runtime support or prefer Apple Container over Docker for NanoClaw deployments.

Quick Start

Install Apple Container and switch the runtime by running the migration and then verify that containers start using Apple Container.

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

This migration process updates your container runtime references, entrypoints, and build scripts to use the Apple Container binary, providing native runtime support and improved security on Apple hardware.

Why use Apple Container instead of Docker for NanoClaw deployments?

Using Apple Container instead of Docker for NanoClaw deployments provides macOS-native runtime support, improved performance, and enhanced security through native hardware isolation on Apple devices.

What does migrating to Apple Container actually change in my build scripts?

Migrating to Apple Container updates your configuration files, entrypoints, and build scripts to reference the Apple Container binary rather than Docker, ensuring your deployment pipeline uses the native macOS runtime.

Do I need to verify Apple Container installation before switching runtimes?

Yes, you need to validate the Apple Container installation before switching. The migration process includes pre-flight and post-change verification steps to ensure your containers start correctly using the new runtime.

Can I use Apple Container for macOS isolation without Docker installed?

Yes, Apple Container operates as a native macOS container runtime and can be used independently. The migration process switches your runtime references to use Apple Container directly for native isolation.
