Gantry 0.7.0
apple/container hosts
Gantry can now manage apple/container — Apple's native container runtime for macOS — side by side with your Docker hosts.
Add an Apple Container host and everything works from the same UI you already know:
- Full container lifecycle: create, start, stop, restart, kill, delete, prune
- Live logs (follow + tail), real-time stats with charts,
top, tar export - Built-in exec terminal with full PTY support and resize
- Images: pull with live progress, tag, delete, prune
- Volumes and networks: list, create, delete, prune
- Disk usage overview
- MCP server and App Intents see apple/container hosts exactly like Docker ones, so Claude and Shortcuts work out of the box
- Connecting the host starts the
containersystem services automatically if they are down
Gantry drives the container CLI (0.12.x) and translates everything to the same engine interface internally — no extra daemons. Operations the platform does not offer (pause, rename, commit, restart policies, network attach, image history, file transfer) are hidden for these hosts instead of erroring.
Getting started:
brew install container
container system start
then add an Apple Container host in Gantry.
