This blew up spectacularly when combined with Time Machine, I wonder if that’s fixed.
Considering that this project was published less than 24 hours ago I’m guessing you assume it’s a different project.

Re: macOS Container Machines
#312Just to clarify, this requires Mac OS 26 Tahoe for "container" doesn't it? So those of us holding out on Sequoia who can't stand the broken glass UI or what's called and the other undesired features need to stick to Docker desktop.
Yeah I use Tahoe and I can't stand the liquid glass.
It looks like Golden Gate fixes this design a lot.
Re: macOS Container Machines
#313So essentially both macOS and Windows now heavily support developing using Linux on them. They can't more openly admit that they are no match for Linux in that area. There's some clever advertising in it for Linux, if Linux was advertising.
Linux also can't openly admit that it's no match for macOS/Windows on the desktop, which is why we have this hybrid situation - macOS/Windows desktops running Linux VMs
Unfortunately there are more and more users on Linux and as a result windowsization/macosization of Linux is in progress (systemd, wayland, some scary stuff Poettering is doing with boot, snap/flatpack).
Re: macOS Container Machines
#314Will this be able to replace docker desktop an equivalents, removing the expensive Linux VM that runs alongside them?
this is more like toolbox/distrobox equivalent for MacOs, but running in individual VMs.
Re: macOS Container Machines
#315looks like apple wrote a native docker in swift you can now run linux containers on your mac ... but it could be better. what about (totally contrived): FROM apple/macos:10.11.6 RUN xcodebuild -project myapp.xcodeproj -scheme MyScheme -configuration Release
> FROM apple/macos:10.11.6
Yeah I was working on that, created a prototype. I don't see a business in it, so abandoned.
Re: macOS Container Machines
#316It was unclear to me, is this a native replacement for docker? I like docker (on mac) but its quite the resource hog. I usually run like a db, redis, maybe something like rabbitmq/zeromq and have a app that uses these services (makefile/docker-compose). I would love to switch if this in fact is a lightweight replacement.
A native replacement for docker came last year with Apple Containers- this extends that.

#318Can Podman support these eventually?
There _is_ Podman Desktop extension for Apple Containers, however its socktainer version is ancient.

Re: macOS Container Machines
#320Will this come to MacOS 27?
LE: nevermind, it is already on MacOS. Did not read everything.
