Apple Containers
Apple
New Feature in MacOS 26 Tahoe
Awesome new feature although more for developers is Containers in Apples new OS for the Mac Tahoe.
If you don’t know what containers are, I’ll do a future post on that.
However, for those that do, you’ll need an M Series Mac and the latest OS 26 Tahoe.
Head over to GitHub and download the latest package
After Installation, open a terminal and type :
container -- version to make sure it’s installed correctly
To start the system:
container system start
The first time it runs it will prompt you to install the linux kernel
You can verify it’s all working with :
container list —all
container —help
will get you the help page
You will need to create Dockerfiles (Named Dockerfile)
Commands like
container build
container images list
container run
make perfect sense to those that are used to Docker
There is a basic tutorial on the GitHub page and I’m sure lots will end up all over the web.
Like I said, unless you’re a developer, this probably isn’t big news. However for those of us apes that like to play with containers, this is awesome.
