   Container-compose – A Docker-compose like tool for Apple containers▲59

   Hey HN, recently Apple release their own container manager tooling, but it's missing a "compose-like" tool. I'm building this CLI as a side-project and a way to help on the usage with the main tool.

From a technical standpoint, this is a standalone binary written using the EGUI library in rust. A project goal is performance, with small memory footprint, and small application and file sizes. This is a continuous work-in-progress, and I'm open to any and all…
