CI/CD setups are usually done on server farms, not on developer workstations. How many CI/CD setups are running on Macs? I'm guessing not many.

- joe_guy 4y agoMany things that target macOS and everything that targets iOS will have a CI running on macOS. For better or worse, iOS is not a niche target.
- midoridensha 4y agoInteresting; they don't have a way to cross-compile? MacOS isn't really known for being a server OS...
- joe_guy 4y agoNo. And it's very intentional. You're not even legally allowed to run macOS VMs on non Apple hardware. What's far worse than macOS not being a server OS is the hardware you're forced to contend with. Apple makes no server hardware. You end up with a disgusting hodgepodge of vendors making offerings that are largely redundancy in the way of massive falovers of mac minis. It's very unfortunate and makes self hosting or specifically (hardware or otherwise) needs extremely difficult.
