This Dockerfile automates the installation of OSX-KVM inside a docker container. It will build a Catalina Disk with up to 200GB of space. You can change the size and version using build arguments (see below). This file builds on top of the work done by Dhiru Kholia and many others on the OSX-KVM project. # Custom Build ``` docker build -t docker-osx:latest \ --build-arg VERSION=10.14.6 \ --build-arg SIZE=200G docker run \ -e RAM=4 \ -e SMP=4 \ -e CORES=4 \ -e EXTRA='-usb -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=8' \ -e INTERNAL_SSH_PORT=23 \ --privileged -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix docker-osx:latest ``` ## Todo: ``` # persistent disk with least amount of pre-build errands. ```
