that's nice and all - but where are the native Darwin containers? Why is it ok for Apple to continue squeezing people with macOS CI jobs to keep buying stupid Mac Minis to put in racks only to avoid a mess? Just pull FreeBSD jails!
- egorfine 1y agoThis is my pain point. I would really want to have a macOS (not just Darwin) container, but it seems that it is not possible with macOS. I don't remember the specifics, but there was a discussion here at HN a couple of month ago and someone with intrinsic Darwin knowledge explained why.
- qalmakka 1y ago> it's not possible Heck even Microsoft managed to run Windows containers on Windows, even with the technical debt and bloat they had. Apple could, they just don't want to because it goes straight against their financial interests
- conradludgate 1y agoYou can run macos VMs at the very least https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running-macos-in-a-virtual-machine-on-apple-silicon https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...
- qalmakka 1y agoSure but they don't really scale due Apple's refusal to provide a headless version with WindowServer off Also the EULA limits you to just two VMs per computer and only for very specific purposes. Clearly because they want you to buy their damn computers
