OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM VS OSX-KVM

This works pretty well for running macOS on Linux:

Mostly used it when trying to track down reported macOS bugs in stuff for an OSS project, so maybe once every few months. But it's worked quite well at those times. :)

I have a MacOS Ventura VM up and running under Linux KVM/QEMU using Virtual Machine Manager. When I installed, I added a bridge network like I always do for VMs and I may have removed the previous NIC installed by this method: https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM. I am now researching what it takes to get Apple Services working. One thing I'm unclear about is does the network type matter for this?

Hi all. Been getting a weird error the last week or so. I've noticed I'd lose connection and when I check my macos vm, it says "failed to prepare port" even though it had been running the whole time. I'm running airmessage inside of a VM inside of xubuntu. Specifically this OSX KVM solution . I haven't had any issues with running it this way until last week or so. The only way to fix seemed to be quit and restart airmessage. I do not want to use a Google account, so please do not suggest that as the solution. Thank you.

i was following a guide to get a macos kvm on wsl but when I'm trying to install it I get an error saying that my cpu does not support kvm extensions. I have used the same machine on linux to easily run the same kvm without any problems so I don't know why this is happening. I'm also using the latest wsl2 kernel package. Guide

This is the SIMPLEST one: https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM sadly is not getting updates, but you can use it and upgrade after installation or use a fork: https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM

I had Montery running on Xubuntu 20.04 a month ago, but something happened recently to bork it. I could not boot into it this morning. I think it had something to do with improperly shutting down the machine as I was messing with the breakers in my house. I thought a fresh install might fix it but that doesn't seem to be the case. I made a new folder for all the files and downloaded the KVM set up that I used before, but I get the error above. I'm guessing it's an issue with libvirtd but my home assistant VM seems to have no issues. If anyone has any idea how to fix this (without doing a nuke) that would be appreciated.

I followed this guide that I found here, it's the same as the macOS simple KVM but simpler to set up. I got the VM to boot and logged into my Apple ID with no problems. But the VM doesn't show up as a separate device on my router so I can forward the port that I need to to the VM. I tried using the bridged network instructions that guide has but it didn't work. Should I just use something like nginx proxy manager for it?

Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).

I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.

Working on a patch to include it as a flake input instead of vendoring it in the repo, so this should no longer be true. I use the QCOW2s for OpenCore from osx-kvm that I have not figured out how to reproduce yet https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore/OpenCore.qcow2

For almost a year, I have been coding a little project in Python intended to piggyback on the framework of kholia's OSX-KVM project, known as ultimate-macOS-KVM, or ULTMOS.

I just researched a bit, mac os x guest vm with pcie passthrough seems possible on linux.

VirGL is definitely an interesting project, but all one has to do to get GPU passthrough working (from a Linux QEMU host to any guest OS) is: 1.) research a cheap, secondary GPU that is natively supported by the guest OS, 2.) plug such a secondary GPU into a PCIe slot on the host and hook it up to the primary monitor with a secondary cable (D-Sub vs. DVI, etc.), 3.) setup Linux to ignore the secondary GPU at boot and configure a QEMU VM for the GPU passthrough. The whole process takes perhaps one or two hours and as works flawlessly, with no stability issues. (Switching across the two GPU cables can be accomplished in software by using Display Data Channel /DDC/ utilities and switching keyboard/mouse can be accomplished by using evdev /event device/ passthrough.)

I get "verification failed" error when using https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

I also see there is KVM-OSX which looks to be actively maintained, but I haven't heard anything about it.

You can use qemu/libvirt/kvm on any Linux host to run macOS pretty easily these days[1]. I run Ventura on unraid with nvidea gpu passthrough and it’s been fairly painless.

You can also run macOS in docker, but it’s ultimately running through qemu/kvm as well[2]
