feat(devops): OS-aware container-engine bootstrap (no Docker Desktop)#8
Merged
Conversation
These crates use only the plain `docker` CLI, so any Docker-API-compatible engine runs them — Docker Desktop is not required. Add a one-command, idempotent, OS-aware bootstrap plus a container-build skill and a README "Container engine" section so a fresh machine can reach `docker info` green before the Quick start. - scripts/devops/bootstrap-container-engine.sh — detects OS; macOS/Linux -> Colima, Windows -> Podman; installs + starts the engine; strips Docker Desktop's credsStore (which breaks headless pulls); verifies docker info + buildx + compose. Idempotent; ShellCheck-clean; passes guard.sh. - .claude/skills/container-build/SKILL.md — engine setup + build/smoke a crate + headless gotchas (credsStore, linux/amd64 on Apple Silicon, autostart). - README.md — "Container engine (no Docker Desktop needed)" section. Validated end-to-end on Colima (macOS, Apple Silicon): idempotent re-run, docker info green, hello-world container runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
These crates use only the plain
dockerCLI, so any Docker-API-compatible engine runs them — Docker Desktop is not required. This adds a one-command, idempotent, OS-aware bootstrap so a fresh machine reachesdocker infogreen before the Quick start, plus acontainer-buildskill and a README section.Why
The Quick start assumes a working
dockerbut never says which engine. The biggest friction for self-hosting these crates is engine setup — and Docker Desktop is licensed/fragile. This closes that gap with a free, headless baseline (Colima on macOS/Linux, Podman on Windows).Changes
scripts/devops/bootstrap-container-engine.sh— detects OS; macOS/Linux → Colima, Windows → Podman; installs + starts the engine; removes Docker Desktop'scredsStore(the leftoverdesktophelper breaks headless image pulls); verifiesdocker info+buildx+compose. Idempotent; starts Colima throughbrew servicesso the same step enrols autostart, with a documented fallback for an already-running manual Colima..claude/skills/container-build/SKILL.md— engine setup, build/smoke a crate, and headless gotchas (credsStore tell,linux/amd64under QEMU on Apple Silicon, autostart/launchd).README.md— "Container engine (no Docker Desktop needed)" section ahead of Quick start.Validation
