ContainerStack now owns a Docker socket separate from a standalone Socktainer
installation. Upgrading moves the app and its Docker context without stopping or
removing a bridge you run yourself.

Changed

  • The app, cstack, Docker context, and verification tools now use
    ~/.containerstack/docker.sock instead of ~/.socktainer/container.sock.
    An active containerstack Docker context is refreshed during the upgrade. If
    you set DOCKER_HOST yourself, update it to the new path.
  • The bundled bridge explicitly owns startup housekeeping for the shared Apple
    Container runtime. Homebrew cleanup removes only ContainerStack's state and
    no longer treats ~/.socktainer as app-owned data.

Fixed

  • Upgrading retires the old bundled bridge before starting its replacement. The
    migration matches both the exact helper path inside ContainerStack.app and the
    old argument list, waits for that process to exit, and aborts safely if it
    cannot confirm retirement. A standalone Socktainer process is left running.

Known limitations

Published ports still require a runtime restart if a bridge-created network's
vmnet helper dies; restarting only the containers does not repair the host route.
The per-container micro-VM architecture also remains slower than OrbStack on the
measured M1 system (4.6x container round trip, 3.6x bind-mount writes).
