Show HN: Lumier – Run macOS VMs in a Docker
Exactly, both https://github.com/dockur/macos and https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX rely on x86 and KVM for HW acceleration
- Instant macOS install on Proxmox including AMD patches
- Docker-OS X image removed because Apple claims infringes copyright
- macOS in Docker Container

PEP 730 – Adding iOS as a supported platform

Not sure about the law but I’ve been running MacOS in a VM for a while for compiling things

GitHub Actions as a time-sharing supercomputer
Running macOS legally requires real mac servers and a bespoke storage solution: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/not-just-stac...
A self-hosted macOS runner will be more economical in the long-run, if you have a spot you can hook it up at, or if you're fine doing things less than legally, you can use https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX.

Container: Apple's Linux-Container Runtime
Lima makes this really straightforward and supports vz virtualization. I particularly like that you can run x86 containers through rosetta2 via those Linux VMs with nerdctl. If you want to implement it yourself of course you can, but I appreciate the work from this project so far and have used it for a couple of years.

- Linux on macOS
- The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source

Stop using Docker like it’s your first dev job
Want a Docker-compatible CLI that works without Docker Desktop? Nerdctl plus Lima gives you containers without licensing drama.

Day 3: What is Docker and why should I care?
Docker is a company that maintains the Docker software and also offers a cloud service to run Docker containers in the cloud. They run DockerHub, which is a platform to store share and run Docker images. The actual standard for Docker containers is called OCI (Open Container Initiative). Because Docker is based on OCI there are many other tools that can interact with Docker containers, like Podman or Lima. If you want to go really deep, I really recommend reading the OCI specification! It's long but super interesting.

Docker Desktop Alternative
I'm currently using colima, and none of the other alternatives that I have found support forwarding UDP ports, which I use a lot, so that's a bummer!
Thankfully, lima has landed a new port forwarder with UDP support! [0]. I'm hoping to be able to use it soon once it makes into a release.
