# docker-for-apple-container

> Stateless `docker` command wrapper for Apple's `container` CLI on macOS.
> Run Docker commands your tools already expect — without Docker Desktop, Podman, or any third-party adapter.

docker-for-apple-container is a stateless translator: it maps each supported `docker` command to a clean Apple `container` equivalent and fails loudly on the rest. Apple `container` is the single source of truth, so the shim persists nothing of its own (no sidecar file, registry, or database). Even `docker compose` stays stateless — project membership is stored as labels in Apple's own object store, exactly as Docker Compose does.
