Minimal Debian stable-slim base image for Apple's native Containerization framework.
- macOS 26+ (Tahoe)
- Apple Silicon
- container CLI installed
- container-cast (for standalone binaries)
make build # Build the image make run # Spawn ephemeral shell at debian.box
make install # Build, cast, and install to /usr/local/bin debian # Launch interactive shell debian <command> # Run a single command
make status Show builder, DNS, images, and containers
make build Build the container image
make cast Cast into a standalone binary
make install Cast and install to /usr/local/bin
make uninstall Remove from /usr/local/bin
make run Run the container
make clean Remove image and prune unused resources
make dns Configure .box DNS domain (run once, needs sudo)
make nuke Kill and restart the builder (fixes hangs)
make help Show all targets
- Debian stable-slim
- bash shell
- Standard GNU utilities
Good base for containers needing apt packages or glibc compatibility.
