Container GUI 1.3.0

Install or upgrade with:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bramgus12/container-gui/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Container GUI 1.3.0 finishes the local DNS setup. Both halves of it — the
resolver entry that needs root and the service domain in your own
config.toml — are now changes the app makes for you, instead of commands and
snippets it asks you to run and paste yourself.

Changes

  • Adds and removes local DNS domains directly. Writing to /etc/resolver needs
    root, so the app raises the standard macOS authentication dialog, naming the
    domain it is about to change, and runs the command through the Security Agent
    once you authenticate. Dismissing the dialog cancels the change and reports
    nothing as having happened.
  • Sets the service DNS domain in ~/.config/container/config.toml. The file is
    yours, so this needs no administrator access. The edit is surgical: it
    rewrites the one domain line under [dns] and copies every other setting,
    comment, and blank line through unchanged, so a domain key in another table
    is left alone. A file that states its DNS settings as an inline table or an
    array of tables is reported as uneditable rather than rewritten.
  • Detects when a written domain is not yet in force. The service reads its DNS
    domain when it starts, so the app compares what it wrote against what the
    service reports; when they differ, the DNS section shows a restart notice with
    a Restart Service button, and the notice clears itself once the service
    reports the new domain.
  • Keeps every manual path. Copy Command, Copy TOML, and Reveal Config
    remain wherever the app can now make the change itself.

Compatibility and validation

  • macOS 26 or later on Apple-silicon Macs.
  • Apple Container CLI 0.12.0 or later and earlier than 2.0.0.
  • The app installs no privileged helper and holds no standing elevated rights.
    Each /etc/resolver change is authorised on its own through macOS.
  • Built from commit 76be378 on Apple silicon with macOS 27.0 and Apple
    Container CLI 1.2.2 on 23 August 2026. Apple's notary service accepted both
    the app and the disk image; spctl --assess reports accepted with
    source=Notarized Developer ID for each, and the app still validates after
    being copied out of the disk image.
  • The full unit and UI suites pass (227 unit tests, 17 UI tests). The manual
    gates in docs/RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md — VoiceOver, the real smoke test, and the
    clean-Mac download test — have not been run for this release, and the macOS
    authentication dialog has not been exercised end to end.

The disk image is signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and
notarized by Apple. Verify an installed copy yourself with:

spctl --assess --type execute --verbose=4 "/Applications/Container GUI.app"

Upgrade and rollback

Re-run the install command above to upgrade in place. To roll back, pin a
previous release, for example:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bramgus12/container-gui/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v1.2.1

Releases up to and including 1.2.0 are ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so
rolling back to one restores the Gatekeeper approval steps described in their
release notes.

Known limitations

The app does not yet manage registry authentication, build secrets or SSH
forwarding, interactive terminals, import/export, or kernel settings,
image/container pruning, or remote hosts.
