Compatibility

ShibaStack is a macOS app and CLI suite for managing Linux containers on Apple Silicon using Apple's native `container` runtime — no Docker daemon required. It pairs a polished SwiftUI dashboard and menu-bar app with a zero-privilege, user-space networking layer that gives every container a friendly local domain, plus a Docker-API-compatible socket so existing Docker tooling can talk to the Apple container engine.

Highlights

  • Native SwiftUI dashboard and menu-bar app for managing containers, images, and volumes
  • Live per-container CPU/memory metrics and streaming logs, backed by real system data
  • Zero-privilege user-space DNS resolver and reverse proxy — no root/sudo required
  • Docker-CLI compatibility layer that bridges standard Docker tooling to Apple's container runtime
  • Multi-language stack: Swift (SwiftUI + Swift Package Manager), Go (networking + guest agent)
