Licobox

Appearance

Docker Containers ​

Licobox includes a Docker engine for managing containers, with support such as port forwarding and bind mounts/volumes.

Docker CLI ​

Licobox runs on Docker Engine and is fully compatible with the Docker CLI. It supports port forwarding, bind mounts, and volumes.

Docker Context ​

Licobox will automatically use licobox context when it starts.

To maintain compatibility with other tools that rely on /var/run/docker.sock, run the following command:

shell
licobox config-docker set-docker-socket

Emulate amd64 container ​

Licobox uses Rosetta to emulate running container built for amd64 CPU. You can also build image for amd64 CPU.

shell
# Run an amd64 container
docker run -it --rm --platform linux/amd64 busybox

# Build image for amd64
docker build --platform linux/amd64 .

If Rosetta is not installed, you can run the following command:

shell
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta

SSH Agent Forwarding ​

SSH agent forwarding can be started using the following:

shell
docker run -it --rm \
    -v /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock:/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock \
    -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock \
    alpine

Or with Docker Compose:

yaml
services:
 web:
   image: alpine
   volumes:
     - type: bind
       source: /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
       target: /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
   environment:
     - SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock
