No A custom container runtime with its own daemon, OCI-compatible behavior, Docker API compatibility, a Linux VM layer and cross-platform support is systems-level work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: This needs a Rust systems stack implementing OCI image handling, Linux namespaces and cgroups, a Docker-compatible API and CLI behavior, and per-OS VM layers (Apple Virtualization.framework, Hyper-V/WSL2, KVM). The hard parts are kernel-level isolation, networking and storage drivers, and performance tuning, which require experienced systems and container-runtime engineers working for a long period.
