v0.0.1-beta2 — unsigned pre-release

⚠️ Pre-release — unsigned build for early testing.

What

container-compose is a Docker Compose compatibility layer for Apple's container. It parses a Compose file and orchestrates the stable public container CLI, shipping both as a container CLI plugin (container compose up) and as a standalone container-compose binary. This release distributes an unsigned .pkg that installs the plugin to /usr/local/libexec/container-plugins/compose/.

Why

A beta to exercise the end-to-end release pipeline (build → .pkg → GitHub Release) and validate the new ComposeKit package split before a signed, stable 0.1.0. Expect rough edges — feedback welcome.

What changed since v0.0.1-beta1

• Rewired onto the split ComposeKit packages — a runtime-agnostic core (ComposeKit) plus the container runtime layer (ComposeKitContainer) — pinned to ComposeKit 0.0.1-beta1.
• Added Apache-2.0 LICENSE + NOTICE.

How to install

1. Download container-compose-0.0.1-beta2.pkg below.
2. It is unsigned and un-notarized, so Gatekeeper will block it. Either right-click the .pkg → Open, or clear quarantine and install from the terminal:

   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine container-compose-0.0.1-beta2.pkg
   sudo installer -pkg container-compose-0.0.1-beta2.pkg -target /

3. Reload the container plugins, then use it:

   container system stop && container system start
   container compose up

Known limitations

• Unsigned — no Developer ID signature or notarization yet. The release workflow signs + notarizes + staples automatically once the signing secrets are configured (see PACKAGING.md).
• Apple Silicon only — Apple's container is arm64-only.
• Early MVP — see the README Compatibility table for approximated / unsupported Compose fields.
