Feature or enhancement request details
What is the problem?
Right now, apple/container only works in the terminal. Because it does not have a shared management layer or an open API, we cannot use popular developer tools.
We are missing out on:
- GUIs / Dashboards: There is no visual screen or app to see and manage running containers.
- VS Code Extensions: Popular plugins (like the Docker extension) cannot connect to it.
- DevContainers: It is very hard to use this for automated, multi-container development workspaces.
What is the solution?
Please add an open local API or a background control plane.
If you give developers a way to connect to the runtime, the community can easily build third-party tools, visual apps, and IDE extensions to support this project.
Alternatives considered
- Using only the terminal command line for everything, which is difficult for complex workflows.
