Neat, but this looks very specialized for a single person's config. I wouldn't want to run this on my machine seeing as it removes apt sources and does a bunch of other system changes unrelated to installing a macOS guest. https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc8144056cf9c7a270ba0b2403109eaeebd9/install.sh#L14-L15 https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc81... https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc8144056cf9c7a270ba0b2403109eaeebd9/setup#L88 https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc81... https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc8144056cf9c7a270ba0b2403109eaeebd9/setup#L1726-L1849 https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX/blob/7ca3dc81...

Despite these being optional tweaks in the menu, I'm also surprised by how this is the default. I guess the options are for PVE updates. "Disclaimer for dev/student/test purposes only." Shouldn't be used with enterprise license, which may be against ToS. The original intent is to avoid custom hardware configurations by using PVE as a layer. Hackintosh on bare metal can take days to figure out on new hardware.

  Yes, this is correct. There seem to be a lot of people confused about the benefit of this in the thread, but it’s very simple: This tool exists essentially as a replacement for doing a full Hackintosh build of a system. You install Proxmox on a machine with a GPU, set this up, pass through the GPU and any other PCIe cards you want to run, and you’re in business. It turns a days-long process into something that you can be up and running within like an hour. With OSX-KVM you have to set up the machine to be ready to do all the stuff like passthrough. This leverages the fact that Proxmox makes all that stuff super-simple.

    > ... pass through the GPU I've got GPU passthrough working under Proxmox but not for Hackintosh. Will a Hackintosh work with most GPUs or only with certain brands/models?

      It has to be AMD specifically, with some cards working better than others. Really old Nvidia cards work if you’re willing to go all the way back to High Sierra, though I haven’t tested it with this specific setup. Intel iGPUs work on bare metal up until about tenth gen Core series, but I don’t know if you can pass them through with Proxmox. This list is a good place to start: https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/amd-gpu.html https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/amd-... If you just want to mess around, RX 580s are pretty cheap on eBay these days and are fast enough to handle most tasks on a Mac.

This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version

  > This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version I run the free version and do not delete the Ceph repos (especially since I'm using Ceph amongst my storage options): if [ -e /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list ]; then rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list; fi; At the very least run a sed command to just comment out any/all lines in the files instead of nuking them.

    I don't know why you got downvoted, because you are right. There is no problem with keeping the Ceph repos, and you can use it with the community repos.
