SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Switch runtime from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native container isolation within ClaudeClaw. This enables native OS isolation for container runtimes and aligns with macOS deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based migration from Docker to Apple Container, including runtime swap, mount syntax updates, and startup/status checks.
  • Ensures compatibility with existing interfaces and keeps exported IPC intact while adopting Apple Container.
  • Useful for developers and operators on macOS preferring native container runtimes during migration and testing.

Quick Start

Execute the Apple Container migration by following the three phases: pre-flight checks, code changes, and verification, then validate the container runtime status.

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

To migrate from Docker to Apple Container, perform a phased runtime swap including pre-flight checks, mount syntax updates, and startup status verification to ensure macOS-native container isolation.

What is Apple Container and when do I need it for macOS deployments?

Apple Container is a macOS-native container isolation runtime. You need it when your development, testing, or deployment workflows on macOS require native OS isolation instead of relying on Docker.

Can I keep existing interfaces and IPC intact when switching to Apple Container?

Yes, switching to Apple Container enforces compatibility with existing interfaces and keeps exported IPC intact while adopting the macOS-native runtime for your container workflows.

What does the Apple Container migration process involve step by step?

The step-by-step Apple Container migration involves three phases: executing pre-flight checks, applying code changes for the runtime swap and mount syntax, and running integration testing with verification commands.

Does migrating to Apple Container require specific pre-flight checks on macOS?

Yes, migrating to Apple Container requires pre-flight checks to verify environment readiness before applying code changes and running integration testing to validate the macOS-native runtime status.

Why use Apple Container instead of Docker for macOS container isolation?

Apple Container provides native OS-level isolation for macOS deployments, aligning container runtimes with the host operating system, whereas Docker relies on a separate virtualization layer for container isolation.
