OSX-KVM allows to run macOS on Linux machines.
Installation
Enable virtualisation support in your system configuration by adding following lines
{
virtualisation.libvirtd.enable = true;
users.extraUsers.youruser.extraGroups = [ "libvirtd" ];
boot.extraModprobeConfig = ''
options kvm_intel nested=1
options kvm_intel emulate_invalid_guest_state=0
options kvm ignore_msrs=1
'';
}
Replace youruser with the user name of your running system. After applying the configuration, reboot your system so the changes to the kernel modules can take effect.
Usage
Git clone the project repository and run nix run to prepare and run your MacOS system
git clone -b flake https://github.com/onny/OSX-KVM.git
cd OSX-KVM
nix run
You may also want to adjust the cpu count/memory in ./OpenCore-Boot.sh if your systems resources allow it.
On the first run, from the boot menu, select disk utilities and erase / format the Qemu disk that will be used for installation. Then choose the installer from the boot menu. Select the previously created disk image as install target.
On the next boot you will a new boot entry containing the actual installation.
