Setting up a macOS Ventura to use CNCF OCI containers

Setting up package management

#packagemanagement

Make sure the xcode command line development tools are available

#xcode #xcode-select

xcode-select --install

Install homebrew

#homebrew

Instructions can be found at https://brew.sh/

Installing required system dependancies

to support x11 type software piping from container to host #xquartz #socat #docker #dbus

First, install useful homebrew "tap's":

brew tap homebrew/brew-cask
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

System/infrastructure software dependancies requred to support using containers with tools such as obsidian, drawio, vym, cherrytree, etc, installed that requre an x11 pipe between container and host.

Before one can work with containers in this repo (includes getting X11 installed and working):

brew install xquartz
brew install socat
brew install docker
#####
# dbus required for some Qt based apps that might be used in docker containers
brew install dbus

Setting up dbus

#settingupdbus #dbus

mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/dbus/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

Host bash environment should include the following:

#bash #xhost #bash

  1. Following fixes title bar problem between docker and X11 #localahost #127.0.0.1
export IP=$(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk '$1=="inet" {print $2}')
/opt/X11/bin/xhost +${IP}

## host bash environment should include the following:
## Following fixes title bar problem between docker and X11
    export IP=$(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk '$1=="inet" {print $2}')
    export DISPLAY=$(${IP}:0)
    /opt/X11/bin/xhost +${IP}
## NOTE: it appears to work with the IP set to 127.0.0.1 as well, needs further testing..
  1. Useful tools, required amid the churn of trying to make things work... Some may no longer be requried, or may be installed as a dependency of other packages.
brew install autoconf automake libtool autoconf-archive gettext check pkg-config luajit
brew install libjpeg freetype fribidi fontconfig giflib libtiff glib dbus libsndfile bullet
  1. To make gettext available, add the following to your $PATH
export PATH="$(brew --prefix gettext)/bin:$PATH"
  1. Popular editors used by many developers, if not already installed, eventually more appropriately installed and managed in containers
brew cask install sublime-text visual-studio-code pycharm-community
  1. Popular 3rd party terminal used by many macOOS developers
brew cask install iterm2

Tools that can be used to build, maintain and manage containers on a host system

#podman #skopeo #singularity #apptainer #kubernetes #kubectl #nerdctl #lima #qemu #utm #virtualbox #parallels #fusion #packer #vagrant #terraform #vault #hcp #consul #nomad #openstack #openshift #waypoint #boundary #hashicorp #oracleCloud #amazonCloud #googleCloud #asureCloud #ansible #puppet #CFEngine #vmware #vsphere #esxi #docker #pod #ortellius

Redhat oci mangement tools

brew install podman
brew install skopeo

To copy an image from docker to local docker repo (once it's set up)

skopeo copy --dest-tls-verify=false docker-daemon:docker.io/centos:7 docker://localhost:5000/centos:7
