Run macOS in a Docker Container
- popalchemist 2y agoBut, why?
- schainks 2y agoA dockerized Mac OS lets you perform automated testing without paying for the hardware, which is what you usually have to do.
- pjmlp 2y agoWhich in the countries where EULA's have a legal value, it is considered a crime, as Mac OS can only be virtualised in Apple hardware.
- Malidir 2y agoWhats the punishment?
- pjmlp 2y agoWhatever the respective jurisdiction judge decides breaking an EULA with illegal deployment should be. As some though for thought, https://www.quora.com/What-happens-if-a-EULA-is-violated https://www.quora.com/What-happens-if-a-EULA-is-violated
- joseda-hg 2y agoHonest question, what happens if you set up a VPS in a country where EULA's don't? You get all the benefits and none of the repercusion, yes?
- pjmlp 2y agoThat is up for a judge, and legal agreements between countries, to decide upon.
- tiagod 2y agoSomething being illegal doesn't always mean it's a crime.
- pjmlp 2y agoThat is exactly the definition, which you can happily discuss during a court hearing session.
- tiagod 2y agoIt's not, at least where I live (Portugal). For example, drinking and driving is a "contra-ordenação" up until 1.2g/L, where it becomes a crime. Same with many other things. Possession and consumption of illegal drugs was also decriminalized, but it's still illegal (just not a crime). Not all legal systems are the same.
- joseda-hg 2y agoCreating a separate comment for this idea, but would virtualizing other versions of MacOS/iOS on say a Mac Mini so you can do multiple versions (And maybe iOS, by extension) and such in parallel would ostensibly be legal As long as you're running Asahi Linux as your Host OS
- minhaz23 2y agoCan you expand on that? Why does it have to be a mac Mini? And why the asahi distro? Sorry just genuinely curious and dont know myself
- mdaniel 2y ago> Why does it have to be a mac Mini? The mini is usually cost competitive as an entry Mac, and one doesn't need a fancy screen to drive up the price > And why the asahi distro? Well, in the context of this specific repo, one needs docker which needs Linux but generic Linux on Mac hardware can be iffy about having all the hardware working. I've never tried Asashi in order to speak to it but I believe that's one of their goals

- ChrisRR 2y agoWhy not?
- Malidir 2y agoTest on Safari for one?
- diffeomorphism 2y agoThat does not seem to actually be "in a docker container"? It is just using docker to run the VM software (qemu with kvm) and runs macOS in that VM. It is conveniently packaged up, but the title is very, very misleading.
- _lvbh 2y agohttps://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX seems more established. I used it a while back when I was in a country where that was legal. These days I just use GitHub Actions instead.
