Conversation
App settings were one long right-hand panel. They are now a modal with a section list — General, Connections, Local computer — which is where new settings can go without making one column longer. The new section sets up a computer your bots can borrow: a Linux desktop in a container on this machine, free and disposable, separate from your own desktop and files. It runs the same X11 desktop our computer tools already speak, so nothing about the tools changes — only where the commands run. It is a checklist that watches itself rather than a wall of instructions. A read-only status endpoint reports which container runtime is installed, whether its daemon is actually up, whether the image is pulled and whether the container is running; the panel polls while you work through the steps and ticks them off. Installed-but-not-running is called out separately, because that one otherwise fails later and reads as broken — verified against a real Docker install in exactly that state. We never tell anyone to install Docker specifically: its licence needs payment above 250 employees or $10M revenue and for government use, so the steps suggest Colima or Podman and we adapt to whatever is present. Nothing here installs anything; it only reports and shows commands. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds container runtime detection and a local computer status API. It adds a settings modal with profile, update, API connection, and local computer sections. The local computer section polls status and displays runtime-specific setup commands. ChangesLocal computer setup
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds a local desktop setup flow, but its generated container commands currently expose VNC and noVNC beyond the local machine, while the settings modal is not keyboard-contained and runtime-specific commands can default to Docker when no runtime is detected. These create concrete security, accessibility, and setup-correctness risks that should be addressed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Do not generate Docker commands when no runtime is selected.
Line 100 defaults to Docker when detection returns null. src/components/LocalComputerSection.tsx renders commands.pull and commands.run, so users without a runtime see Docker commands although the setup guidance recommends Colima or Podman. Keep runtime-specific commands unavailable until detection selects a runtime, and hide dependent setup commands until then.

Docker Podman Apple container CLI publish port host IP 127.0.0.1 syntax
💡 Result:
To publish a container port to the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) on the host, both Docker and Podman use the same syntax for the publish flag [1][2][3]. By including the IP address in the port mapping, you restrict access to the containerized service so that it is only reachable from the host machine itself, rather than from the wider network [1][4][3]. The syntax is: -p 127.0.0.1:HOST_PORT:CONTAINER_PORT For example: docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 nginx podman run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 nginx Key details: - By default, if you only specify the ports (e.g., -p 8080:80), the container is published on all network interfaces (0.0.0.0), making it accessible to any machine that can reach your host [5][6][3]. - Specifying 127.0.0.1 explicitly forces the binding to the loopback interface [1][7]. - You can also bind to specific IPv6 addresses using the same format by enclosing the address in brackets, for example: -p '[::1]:8080:80' [1]. - If you omit the host port but keep the IP (e.g., -p 127.0.0.1::80), the container port will be mapped to a randomly assigned ephemeral port on the host's loopback interface [2][8]. Always verify your port mappings after starting the container by running: docker port <container_name_or_id> podman port <container_name_or_id>

site:github.com/apple/container CLI run --publish 127.0.0.1 port
💡 Result:
The --publish (or -p) flag is used in container CLI tools (such as Apple's container utility) to forward traffic from a specific host port to a container port [1][2]. The supported format for this option is [host-ip:]host-port:container-port[/protocol] [1][3]. To publish a port specifically to the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1), you use the following syntax: --publish 127.0.0.1:host-port:container-port For example, to forward traffic from port 8080 on your host's 127.0.0.1 interface to port 8000 inside the container, you would use: container run -d -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8000 <image_name> [1][4] Important Considerations: - Protocol: You can optionally specify the protocol (tcp or udp) by appending it to the end, for example: -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8000/tcp [1][2]. - IPv6 Loopback: To publish to the IPv6 loopback address (::1), you must enclose the address in brackets: -p '[::1]:8080:8000' [1][4]. - Connectivity Issues: If you encounter connection issues (e.g., connection reset or empty reply) when using 127.0.0.1, ensure that your container application is actually listening on 127.0.0.1 inside the container, or try binding to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces) if necessary [4][5]. Additionally, on macOS, check that your container runtime has the required network permissions [6].

Apple container CLI documentation port forwarding publish host IP
💡 Result:
When using the Apple container CLI, port forwarding is configured via the --publish (or -p) option [1][2]. The syntax for binding a container port to a specific host IP address is: [host-ip:]host-port:container-port[/protocol] If you specify the host-ip, traffic will be forwarded only from that specific host interface to the container [3][2]. If the host-ip is omitted, the default behavior is typically to bind to all available host interfaces [4][5]. For example: - To bind container port 80 to port 8080 on the IPv4 loopback interface (127.0.0.1): container run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 [image] [3][2] - To bind container port 80 to port 8080 on the IPv6 loopback interface ([::1]): container run -p '[::1]:8080:80' [image] [3][2] The protocol (tcp or udp) can be specified by appending it to the container port (e.g.,:80/udp) [1][2]. If no protocol is specified, TCP is used by default [2]. When a container is attached to multiple networks, published ports generally forward to the IP address of the interface attached to the first network [3][2].

Line 104 exposes the VNC and noVNC ports on all host interfaces. Use -p 127.0.0.1:6080:6080 -p 127.0.0.1:5900:5900 for Docker, Podman, and container.

Make the settings overlay a keyboard-contained dialog.
This modal has no dialog semantics or focus management. Tab navigation can reach controls behind the overlay, and assistive technology can navigate outside the settings surface. Add dialog semantics, an accessible label, initial focus, focus trapping, and focus restoration to the invoking control.

Integrated through #88 on the current main branch, with the original commit preserved as a merge parent. The integration addresses all three review threads (runtime-less commands, loopback-only VNC ports, and modal focus containment), restores updater download/install behavior, corrects Apple container command syntax, adds cross-platform setup guidance, detects already-public container ports, and adds focused runtime/network tests. All Windows, macOS, Linux, and packaged-app checks passed. |

The new section: a computer your bots can borrow
A Linux desktop in a container on the user's own machine. Free, disposable, and isolated from their desktop and files — the middle ground between the cloud box (needs a paid plan) and "This Mac" (points the agent at the desktop the human is using).

xdotool+scrot), so the tool layer doesn't change — only where the commands run. The image is Anthropic's MIT-licensed computer-use demo image, which ships exactly the binaries our shell strings call.It's a checklist that watches itself, not a wall of instructions. A read-only status endpoint (
GET /api/local-computer) reports:The panel polls while you work through the steps in a terminal and ticks each one off. Verified live against a real Docker install that was installed but stopped — precisely the case a naive
which dockerwould call "ready" and then fail two steps later.Deliberate choices
