apple/container 0.4.1

on GitHub

More fixes and features in the August release...thank you for all of the contributions!

The most notable feature in this release are named volumes (container volume create). One difference between named volumes in container and in other systems is that you can't read-write a named volume across multiple running containers (VMs).

Why no 0.4.0? We had to discard that tag due to a couple test regressions.

Highlights

• Core
  • systemd can run in containers
  • Unified --platform, --os, --arch flag support
  • Improved interactive input handling (-i flag)
  • Consistent --version output
• Network
  • Automatic /etc/hosts generation
  • DNS hostname conflict prevention
  • Prevent deletion of referenced networks
  • SSH auth socket forwarding for run and exec commands
• Storage
  • Create and manage named volumes with container volume.
• Plugins
  • Custom application data root support with --app-root
