I use MacOS and am very positive about it. I have lots of reasons to run Linux containers. What are some reasons I might want to run a MacOS container?

- nicexe 3y agoI would imagine it would enable you to run MacOS specific pipelines like building a project and have it work semi-portably across different machines/users.
- da39a3ee 3y agoYes, I can see it could be useful for a company making MacOS software. But for a company whose developers use MacOS but whose product has nothing specifically to do with MacOS, my instinct is that if local environment reproducibility concerns get to that point then linux containers are the answer since they'll be more closely related to CI/prod envs. Or are you thinking maybe that's wrong for large companies with lots of developers using MacOS?
- shepherdjerred 3y agoAt work, this would've been super helpful for compiling macOS libraries. We ended up using a macOS cross-compiler [0] instead. [0]: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/macos-cross-compiler https://github.com/shepherdjerred/macos-cross-compiler
