If somebody missed it, apple/container is a good replacement for Docker for Mac on macOS. I have been using it for the last 6 months, there are issues, but also team is actively developing it.

I haven't personally used it, but containerd also has "nerdbox": http://github.com/containerd/nerdbox

Does that let you build images on a macOS host that works on Windows and Linux too? It doesn't seem to talk about what platform the images support, only where you could run containers.

		Not sure about Windows, but yes to Linux. It runs linux containers (not darwin), plus can have rosetta. And I build multi arch images (arm64/amd64). It uses buildkit, the same Docker uses, so I am sure you can build Windows containers with it as well. Just a note, I am working for the org, that sells enterprise software shipped as container images, publishes on Docker Hub and RedHat. No issues migrating to apple/container.

How is the performance overhead of this compared to docker on MacOS?

		The only big noticeable issue for me was building a large enterprise images (like Splunk). This issue was fixed [1]. Other than that I have not seen any issues with IO or performance. Running Splunk/OpenSearch/ElasticSearch, some performance tests, enterprise software written in Go (building for arm64/amd64). No issues at all. 1. https://github.com/apple/container/issues/68
