SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Switch the container runtime from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native container isolation and deterministic code changes with verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Replaces Docker with Apple Container across runtime components (runtime binary, mounting, startup checks, and entrypoints) to enable macOS-native isolation.
  • Provides a staged workflow (pre-flight, apply changes, credential proxy binding, verification) to ensure a safe, auditable transition.
  • Targets macOS environments and projects that require a native container runtime with minimal disruption to existing interfaces.

Quick Start

Install Apple Container on macOS and run the guided phase workflow to switch the runtime from Docker to Apple Container in your NanoClaw setup.

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

To switch from Docker to Apple Container for macOS isolation, the skill replaces Docker in your runtime code and scripts, handling mount behavior, entrypoints, and verification across pre-flight and subsequent phases.

What is Apple Container and when do I need it for macOS-native isolation?

Apple Container is a macOS-native container runtime that provides native isolation. You need it when running projects like NanoClaw on macOS that require a deterministic transition from Docker with minimal disruption to existing interfaces.

Can I use Apple Container with NanoClaw on macOS without changing my existing interfaces?

Yes, you can switch the runtime to Apple Container with NanoClaw on macOS while minimizing disruption to existing interfaces. The skill updates runtime binaries, startup checks, and mount behavior while retaining the core project structure.

Does switching to Apple Container require updating credential proxy security?

Yes, switching to Apple Container involves updating credential proxy binding and security. The skill's workflow includes a dedicated phase for credential proxy binding to ensure a safe and auditable runtime transition.

How do I verify a container runtime migration from Docker to Apple Container?

To verify a container runtime migration from Docker to Apple Container, a staged workflow runs pre-flight checks, applies code changes, and executes phase 2, 3, and 4 verification steps to ensure the transition is successful.

What are the limitations of replacing Docker with Apple Container in runtime code?

A limitation of replacing Docker with Apple Container is that it targets macOS environments specifically and requires updating mount and entrypoint behavior, which may not apply to projects not running on macOS or using NanoClaw.
