Apple Container Skill

To use the Apple Container CLI, execute the commands below using the run_shell_command tool. Note: This CLI is specific to Apple's container implementation.

Common Workflows & Architecture

These patterns represent best practices for using the Apple Container CLI effectively.

1. System Lifecycle Management

Unlike standard Docker Desktop, the container system services are explicit.

  • Startup: Always verify container system status before running operations. If stopped, run container system start.
  • Kernel: On first run, system start may prompt to install a Linux kernel. The agent should be aware of this initialization step.
  • Cleanup: To save resources when not in use, run container system stop.

2. Networking & Connectivity

  • DNS: For stable service discovery, configure a local domain:
    1. sudo container system dns create <domain> (e.g., test)
    2. container system property set dns.domain <domain>
    3. Access containers via http://<container-name>.<domain>.
