FUSE Gateway v0.1.0 — Self-Signed Developer Preview

FUSE Gateway v0.1.0 — Self-Signed Developer Preview

FUSE Gateway runs standard Linux FUSE filesystems on Apple Silicon Macs through
an isolated Virtualization.framework VM and macOS's built-in encrypted, signed
SMB3 client.

Important signing notice

This is an interim self-signed/ad-hoc-signed Developer Preview. The included
executables have ad-hoc code signatures and the public virtualization entitlement,
but the PKG has no Developer ID Installer identity and has not been notarized by
Apple. It must not be treated as a verified-publisher release.

Read SELF_SIGNED_INSTALL.md and verify SHA256SUMS before installation.

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
sudo installer -pkg FUSE-Gateway-0.1.0-arm64-self-signed.pkg -target /
fgw doctor
fgw demo

Installation may require administrator authorization once. Starting VMs,
mounting, and unmounting do not use sudo, a privileged helper, macFUSE, a kext,
or a System Extension.

Scope

• Apple Silicon and macOS 26 or later
• fgw demo built-in playground
• Public linux/arm64 OCI images

Not included: Intel Macs, GUI/menu bar, automatic updates, private registry
