Container-Compose brings (limited) Docker Compose support to Apple Container, allowing you to define and orchestrate multi-container applications on Apple platforms using familiar Compose files. This project is not a Docker or Docker Compose wrapper but a tool to bridge Compose workflows with Apple's container management ecosystem.

Note: Container-Compose does not automatically configure DNS for macOS 15 (Sequoia). Use macOS 26 (Tahoe) for an optimal experience.

• Compose file support: Parse and interpret docker-compose.yml files to configure Apple Containers.
• Apple Container orchestration: Launch and manage multiple containerized services using Apple’s native container runtime.
• Environment configuration: Support for environment variable files (.env) to customize deployments.
• Service dependencies: Specify service dependencies and startup order.
• Volume and network mapping: Map data and networking as specified in Compose files to Apple Container equivalents.
• Extensible: Designed for future extension and customization.

• A Mac running macOS with Apple Container support (macOS Sonoma or later recommended)
• Git
• Xcode command line tools (for building, if building from source)

You can install Container-Compose via Homebrew (recommended):

brew update
brew install container-compose

You may need to provide a path to your docker-compose.yml and .env file as arguments.
