View guide →ArcBox: a fast macOS-native container and VM runtime — a drop-in Docker engine with agent sandboxes
arcbox is an open-source ai agents project by arcboxlabs (arcboxlabs/arcbox on GitHub). It has 4,226 GitHub stars and 188 forks, is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and was last updated on GitHub on 7 October 2026.
Confirm macOS on Apple silicon (M3+ and macOS 15+ if you want agent sandboxes).
Install via the Homebrew cask or the curl installer.
Start abctl's daemon and enable the Docker engine so your existing docker commands work.
Run a normal docker container, or spin up a disposable agent sandbox with checkpoint/restore.
docker, Compose, BuildKit, volumes, and port forwarding work unchanged; amd64 images run on Apple silicon via FEX translation.
A built-in k3s cluster you can start and enable from abctl.
Disposable sandboxes (abctl claude, sandbox create/run) with checkpoint and restore for AI agents.
Create and SSH into Linux machines, and run throwaway macOS guests (up to Apple's two-guest limit).
Import your setup from Docker Desktop or OrbStack with abctl migrate.
No account and no cloud required; everything runs on your Mac under the abctl CLI.
Clone the project and enter its directory (most users install the binary, next step).
git clone https://github.com/arcboxlabs/arcbox.git
cd arcboxInstall the macOS runtime via Homebrew (or the curl installer from get.arcbox.dev).
brew install --cask arcboxlabs/tap/arcboxStart the daemon, enable Docker compatibility, and run a container as usual.
abctl daemon start
abctl docker enable
docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginxarcboxlabs develops ArcBox (arcbox.dev); it is currently in public beta.
The project is distributed via Homebrew/installer as a public beta; the repository metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license.
No — the README emphasizes no account or cloud connection is required.
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.
Run `brew install --cask arcboxlabs/tap/arcbox`, then `abctl daemon start` and `abctl docker enable`, and use docker normally.
