OSX-KVM
A simple flake.nix to setup a macOS virtual machine based on https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
Usage
If you want to go with the defaults, you don't need to clone this repo. But it's generally recommended to, as you'll be running commands from here each time you want to start the VM.
First, enter a devShell
nix develop
Then download one of the available macOS versions: High Sierra, Mojave or Catalina
jumpstartCatalina
After downloading, set up the virtual disk. By default it's 64GB, but you can edit the value in the flake
defaultDisk
Finally, start the VM
runMacOS
Installing macOS
When booted into the VM, click on Disk Utility. Search for the disk with 64GB
(or your configured amount) and click Erase. Leave the options at their
default values, then click erase.
Once that's done, click exit and go to Reinstall macOS. The instructions
should be straightforward: click continue and agree, then select your disk.
Additional options
You can change the amount of CPU cores or RAM the machine uses inside the flake.
