Dory
A native local-development system for Apple Silicon combining Docker, Compose, one-click Kubernetes, full graphical Linux virtual machines and policy-bound coding-agent sandboxes, without requiring Docker Desktop.
Dory gives Apple Silicon Macs a native container and virtualization runtime for local software development: the Docker API and CLI, Buildx, BuildKit and Compose v2 with registries, bind mounts, volumes and custom networks; one-click k3s Kubernetes across several selectable versions with a native resource browser; and full Linux virtual machines, including Ubuntu, Debian and Kali graphical desktops plus lightweight Alpine headless VMs, with configurable resources, scoped mounts, snapshots, cloning, import and export. It also adds policy-bound sandboxes for coding agents.
It can transactionally migrate containers, images and configuration from Docker Desktop, OrbStack, Colima, Rancher Desktop, Podman or another Docker-compatible socket, reporting exactly what was selected, verified or omitted. All workload data is stored locally in one managed drive file or on an external APFS drive, with no required account, cloud control plane or telemetry.
It is operable from both a native SwiftUI app and a versioned command-line interface, is GPL-3.0 licensed, and currently targets Apple Silicon only, with Intel support planned later.
