Try Apple's container CLI. I moved a project of mine from colima+docker to it relatively easily, a couple of weekends ago.

Does this project aim for docker cli and api compatibility? Searching for Docker on that page yields no results. Though in their example, they do show an example of a Dockerfile referencing docker.io without shame.
Typical Apple behavior, I guess, but grating to see in a OSS tool.
This is a weird take, imho. Should they feel shame for using Dockerfiles in their OCI-standard-compliant tool? Would you be happier if they introduced subtly incompatible Applefiles?
Why are they obliged to emulate the Docker CLI? This limits them to just shadowing someone else's product. Just use Docker if you want their CLI/API, it uses the same virtualization framework under the hood on Macs.
Here's an example of how to build a simple Alpine Linux container using Apple's containerization CLI. It also demonstrates how to connect to the container through Tailscale SSH using a Tailscale auth key stored in Apple Keychain:

I'm curious to know what kind of project is macOS exclusive?
You're surprised that a project by Apple Inc that is basically a wrapper around the Mac virtualisation framework [0] is Mac exclusive?

container is really good, ive been using it to sandbox some CLI tools and it starts up in less than a second
AFAIK no support for Compose though
Thank you for this, will check it out!
