Its history is short and closely follows the appearance of Apple Container in the macOS container-tooling ecosystem. ### Project history The project describes itself as limited Docker Compose support for Apple Container rather than a wrapper around Docker or Docker Compose. Official releases began with 0.1.0 in June 2025 and reached 1.0.0 in June 2026. ### Adoption history Official sources do not publish an adopter list. The README positions Homebrew as the recommended installation path, suggesting its main distribution story is convenience for macOS users experimenting with Apple Container and Compose files. ### How it is used The CLI reads `docker-compose.yml`-style files, supports `.env` input, and starts multi-service applications through Apple Container. This makes it a compatibility bridge for developers carrying Compose habits into Apple's native container runtime. ### Why package nerds care The package is notable because it sits at a boundary between established Docker Compose file conventions and Apple's newer container stack. In package-manager terms, it turns a new platform-specific runtime into something approachable with existing Compose project layouts. ### Timeline - 2025: 0.1.0 release published. - 2026: 1.0.0 release published. ### Related projects - Container-Compose is explicitly related to Apple Container and to Docker Compose file workflows, while its README states it is not a Docker or Docker Compose wrapper. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** container-compose - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** arch, macos, xcode - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [amazon-ecs-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/amazon-ecs-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [ansible-builder](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ansible-builder/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [colima](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/colima/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [container](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/container/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [container-canary](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/container-canary/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [container-structure-test](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/container-structure-test/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [containerd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/containerd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. - [crane](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crane/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
