Apple just made Docker Desktop optional on Mac.
And it is completely free.
This is apple/container. 26.5k stars no Github.
You can now run Linux containers natively on your Mac without installing Docker Desktop, without a background daemon hogging your RAM, and without paying $21 a month per developer for a commercial license.
Here is what it does:
→ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
→ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
→ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
→ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
→ Push images you build to any standard container registry and run them anywhere
Docker Desktop charges $21 per developer per month for commercial use. Apple's version costs nothing and ships as open source under Apache-2.0.
Microsoft made Docker Desktop optional on Windows with WSL Containers last month.
Apple just did the same on Mac.
Docker is not going anywhere. But the era of paying for a GUI wrapper around containers on your own machine is quietly ending.

Uhmm... no? Most of these are part of @openclaw, I had to build an army to make it useful. https://t.co/GLR35USlzu
@steipete (the creator of the Clawd/Molt🦞project) is quite security savvy and has already addressed a few of these, and I wanted to give respect there and make a couple of addendums.
1. The gateways should ideally be behind Tailscale/Cloudflare/etc., but the exposed ports aren't inherently too nasty by default.
2. You do need to control who can talk to your bots, especially based on how much access you give them.
