Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI

Mostly vibe-coded Apple Containers front-end that I'd like to use myself. But if others want to use it, here's the source code.

Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI
davit.app

This looks like a really solid app. I like that it's 17 MB and uses the ContainerAPIClient library directly.

28 commits in 3 days, 5,015 lines of Swift, every commit "Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5".

Also neat that it's signed/notarized. I installed it and it downloaded the necessary container platform stuff on first launch.

Suggestion: add a getting started tutorial to the site which suggests an image to try out and has screenshots (or a silent video) showing you how to get that image up and running and what you can do with it.

The create image dialog suggests "nginx:latest" but that's not a great starting demo.

OrbStack has its own virtualization layer designed to simulate Docker. Containerization has different primitives even though it supports the same OCI images

I really want to use this but am stuck (right now) having to use Caddy's docker tags integration for name resolution.

Can you not use Avahi in the guest and get zeroconf?

Oh! Do you mean the issue is adding extra name resolution to a VM?

Have you tried this avahi alias trick?

Works like a charm, bit odd that you have a persistent avahi client process broadcasting per alias, but it's lightweight.
