Refine user documentation. (#24)
- Extract README sections into BUILDING and CONTRIBUTING documents. This should work better than sections in README as it keeps the README short, and the BUILDING and CONTRIBUTING files will stand out in the file list. - Merged localdev document into BUILDING. - Fixed broken links. - Changed DNS setup so later DNS-dependent steps should work. - Added h1 and link to SECURITY document.

This page describes how to build and run container using a local copy of [`Containerization`](https://github.com/apple/containerization).
|
||||
To build the Containerization package, your system needs either:
|
||||
|
||||
## Use the local copy of containerization
|
||||
- macOS 15 or newer and Xcode 17 beta.
|
||||
- macOS 16 Developer Preview.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compile and test
|
||||
|
||||
Build `container` and the background services from source, and run basic and integration tests:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make all test integration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the binaries to `/usr/local/bin` and `/usr/local/libexec` (requires entering the an administrator password):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compile protobufs
|
||||
|
||||
`container` uses gRPC to communicate to the builder virtual machine that creates images from `Dockerfile`s, and depends on specific versions of `grpc-swift` and `swift-protobuf`. If you make changes to the gRPC APIs in the [container-builder-shim](https://github.com/apple/container-builder-shim) project, install the tools and re-generate the gRPC code in this project using:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make protos
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Develop using a local copy of Containerization
|
||||
|
||||
To make changes to `container` that require changes to the Containerization project, or vice versa:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the [Containerization](https://github.com/apple/containerization) repository such that it sits next to your clone of the `container` repository.

`container` is an application that you can use to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on your Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple Silicon.
|
||||
|
||||
The application consumes and produces OCI-compliant container images, so you can pull and run images from any standard container registry. You can push images that you build to those registries as well, and run the images in any other OCI-compliant application.
