yeah -- I saw it's built on "open source foundations", do you know what project this is?

Should be easy enough, look for the one with upstream contributions from Apple. Oh, wait.

Seems to be this: https://github.com/apple/containerization https://github.com/apple/containerization

  vminitd is the most interesting part of this.

The CLI sure looks a lot like Docker.

Being able to drop Docker Desktop would be great. We're using Podman on MacOS now in a couple places, it's pretty good but it is another tool. Having the same tool across MacOS and Linux would be nice.

  Migrate to Orbstack now, and get a lot of sanity back immediately. It’s a drop-in replacement, much faster, and most importantly, gets out of your way.

  There's also Rancher Desktop (https://rancherdesktop.io/ https://rancherdesktop.io/). Supports moby and containerd; also optionally runs kubernetes.

  I have to drop docker desktop at work and move to podman. I'm the primary author of amalgamation of GitHub's scripts to rule them all with docker compose so my colleagues can just type `script/setup` and `script/server` (and more!) and the underlying scripts handle the rest. Apple including this natively is nice, but I won't be a able to use this because my scripts have to work on linux and probably WSL

If I had to guess, colima? But there are a number of open source projects using Apple's virtualisation technologies to run a linux VM to host docker-type containers. Once you have an engine podman might be the best choice to manage containers, or docker.

Colima is my guess, only thing that makes sense here if they are doing a qemu vm type of thing

  That's my guess too... Colima, but probably doing a VM using the Virtualization framework. I'll be more curious if you can select x86 containers, or if you'll be limited to arm64/aarch64. Not that it really makes that much of a difference anymore, you can get pretty far with Linux Arm containers and VMs.

My guess is Podman. They released native hypervisor support on macOS last year. https://devclass.com/2024/03/26/podman-5-0-released-with-native-mac-hypervisor-support-new-features-and-breaking-changes/ https://devclass.com/2024/03/26/podman-5-0-released-with-nat...

  My guess is nerdctl and containerd.
