  • Content Caching in macOS VM under Proxmox
    2 projects | /r/Proxmox | 19 Dec 2022
    Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this - I have searched the whole Internet and cannot find any help, and Hackintosh community laughed me off for using macOS VMs at all. I have a macOS (tried Mojave 10.14.6, Catalina 10.15.7 and Big Sur 11.6.2) virtual machine created using this guide: https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/06/installing-macos-big-sur-on-proxmox/ (and the respective ones for Mojave and Catalina). My whole purpose of the VM is to serve as a local software update cache. But I cannot get Content Caching to work - it says "Registration Rejected" in the logs. I'm aware Apple blocks Content Caching from being used on virtual machines - however I have tried the kernel patch from https://github.com/ofawx/VmAssetCacheEnable and the other patch (for macOS 11.3 and newer) from https://github.com/acidanthera/RestrictEvents. Both do their job of erasing the VM compatibility block, and I do not get any related errors, but when I try to enable Content Caching, it says "Content Caching is temporarily unavailable" an in the Console logs it says "Failed to create context -44006" followed by "Registration Rejected".
