apple/container

This system is a container management platform that orchestrates Linux containers, images, networks, and volumes through a structured CLI and API server. It provides comprehensive lifecycle management for containers and persistent Linux VMs (machines), alongside image and registry operations. The architecture has been modernized to use TOML configuration, gRPC-Swift for client-server communication, and a modular plugin system for network and runtime services.

This period focused on modernizing the CLI and API server architecture by removing legacy implementations and consolidating command structures. The project introduced TOML-based configuration, enhanced logging, and expanded network and container management capabilities while upgrading dependencies and security boundaries.

This period focused on restructuring the codebase around a unified resource model for containers, images, networks, and volumes, each with dedicated configuration and status types. The work introduced a comprehensive client-server API for managing these resources, alongside new CLI commands for machine and system management. Extensive test coverage was added to validate the new services, plugins, and CLI behaviors.
