I could never have thought adding the word "vibe" would draw so much public ire :)
I for one would encourage people to learn how the stuff works, including various low-level internals. But Tart and VirtualBuddy et cetera are again convenience wrappers (settings, pulling packages, friendly UI, and so on), the OS framework (Virtualization.framework) here does the actual work. If someone for personal use constructs a bad UI or chooses to store their settings on a public server then that's on them. And maybe a good learning opportunity, everyone has to start somewhere.
Not to forget, people are letting agents run loose in their home directory on their main box, surely we can do better than that here.
If the below sounds too complex to work with, can review more basics first. Can start with a Swift tutorial
virtualMachine.start(completionHandler: { (result) in
if case let .failure(error) = result {
fatalError("Virtual machine failed to start with \(error)")
}
})
> require you to run the agent on your Mac instead of in a Sandbox
You don't have to! All recent Macs come with nearly zero perf cost virtualization. You can easily run Mac or Linux VMs assuming same architecture. Use it all the time for development and whatever.
Use Tart [1] or VirtualBuddy [2], both open-source, for a packaged solution. Or in the spirit of this post, vibe code your own wrapper around the OS API [3]
More recently, there are also Apple containers [4]
OCI compatible, but not docker
