SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables macOS users to replace Docker with the Apple Container CLI for stronger native isolation and a consistent runtime experience when running NanoClaw agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runtime migration: Replaces Docker runtime bindings with Apple Container equivalents across the codebase.
  • Mount and CLI compatibility: Converts mount syntax to --mount style, updates runtime binary references, and adjusts startup and orphan-detection commands.
  • Verification & safety: Includes tests, build checks, and runtime-start verification to ensure the change is applied deterministically and safely.
  • Use Case: Useful for developers on macOS who want OS-native container isolation or need to standardize CI/build environments on Apple Container.

Quick Start

Run the skill apply command from the repository root to replace Docker with Apple Container, run tests, and verify the runtime is active.

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

Switching the container runtime from Docker to Apple Container on macOS involves updating runtime binaries, mount syntax, startup checks, and build defaults. The migration replaces Docker bindings with Apple Container equivalents to provide native container isolation.

What is Apple Container runtime migration for macOS?

Apple Container runtime migration replaces Docker runtime bindings with Apple Container CLI equivalents across a codebase. It updates mount syntax to --mount style, adjusts orphan detection commands, and requires build verification and tests to pass before activation.

Can I use Apple Container CLI for building and running agent containers on macOS?

Yes, you can use the Apple Container CLI for building, running, and testing agent containers on macOS. This migration applies when running NanoClaw on macOS or when you prefer the Apple Container CLI for stronger OS-native container isolation.

Does migrating to Apple Container require tests and build verification to pass?

Yes, migrating to Apple Container requires tests and build checks to pass before activation. The migration includes runtime-start verification to ensure the Docker-to-Apple-Container runtime change is applied deterministically and safely.

What mount syntax changes when moving from Docker to Apple Container?

When moving from Docker to Apple Container, mount syntax is converted to --mount style. The migration also updates runtime binary references and adjusts startup and orphan-detection commands to match the Apple Container CLI format.
