Comment ça marche

  1. Check your Mac

    Confirm macOS on Apple silicon (M3+ and macOS 15+ if you want agent sandboxes).

  2. Install ArcBox

    Install via the Homebrew cask or the curl installer.

  3. Start the daemon and enable Docker

    Start abctl's daemon and enable the Docker engine so your existing docker commands work.

  4. Run your first container or sandbox

    Run a normal docker container, or spin up a disposable agent sandbox with checkpoint/restore.

// fonctionnalités

Pourquoi on l'adore

Drop-in Docker engine

docker, Compose, BuildKit, volumes, and port forwarding work unchanged; amd64 images run on Apple silicon via FEX translation.

Native Kubernetes

A built-in k3s cluster you can start and enable from abctl.

Agent microVM sandboxes

Disposable sandboxes (abctl claude, sandbox create/run) with checkpoint and restore for AI agents.

Full VMs and macOS guests

Create and SSH into Linux machines, and run throwaway macOS guests (up to Apple's two-guest limit).

Migration tools

Import your setup from Docker Desktop or OrbStack with abctl migrate.

Local and account-free

No account and no cloud required; everything runs on your Mac under the abctl CLI.

Lancez-le vous-même

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone the project and enter its directory (most users install the binary, next step).

    git clone https://github.com/arcboxlabs/arcbox.git
    cd arcbox
  2. Install ArcBox

    Install the macOS runtime via Homebrew (or the curl installer from get.arcbox.dev).

    brew install --cask arcboxlabs/tap/arcbox
  3. Start the engine

    Start the daemon, enable Docker compatibility, and run a container as usual.

    abctl daemon start
    abctl docker enable
    docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginx
// cas d'usage

Ce que vous pouvez créer

  • Replace Docker Desktop with a lighter local container engine on a Mac
  • Give a coding agent a disposable microVM sandbox it can checkpoint and restore
  • Run a local k3s cluster for Kubernetes development without extra tools
  • Test software in throwaway macOS guests

Questions fréquentes

Who maintains ArcBox?

arcboxlabs develops ArcBox (arcbox.dev); it is currently in public beta.

Is ArcBox free?

The project is distributed via Homebrew/installer as a public beta; the repository metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license.

Does it need a paid API key or account?

No — the README emphasizes no account or cloud connection is required.

How does it compare to Docker Desktop or OrbStack?

It aims to be a drop-in replacement for both on macOS, adding native k3s, full VMs, and agent microVM sandboxes with checkpoint/restore, with migration commands from either tool.

How do I get started?

Run `brew install --cask arcboxlabs/tap/arcbox`, then `abctl daemon start` and `abctl docker enable`, and use docker normally.
