FAQs

It won't boot. What's the problem?

If your host machine is not macOS, then it's very likely this won't run. Attempting to run macOS on non-certified Apple hardware is a violation of their EULA. I'm not able to help, if this is the case, so please do not open an issue.

How do I get started?

You can quickly start using vagrant init [box name]. For example:

vagrant init ramsey/macos-catalina

How do I SSH to the VM?

Use the vagrant ssh command.

How can I launch the GUI to click around in the macOS VM?

Add the following to your Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  vb.gui = true
end

If you've already started the VM, reload the configuration with vagrant reload. VirtualBox will now launch the GUI, where you may log in and click around.

macos-vagrant-box's Issues

Can't update box

Any idea why this can happen?

It locks on the Apple logo screen.

Can not increase disk size

Hi, I couldn't increase disk size. Disk was configured as static sized. I cloned it and it became dynamic sized. I replaced the cloned disk file with the original. Than using virtual box media manager I increased disk size but, mac couldnt use free space. When I try to increase partition size in disk utility, it gives an error "target disk is too small..."

Update macOS patch version

Hello,

Could the box please be updated and published with macOS v10.15.4 or higher, for better modern Xcode 12 support?

qemu

Have you considered creating a box for qemu

I am interested in the performance difference

I can post some outputs of sysbench the most rudimentary brief performance test. You should get around ten (10) as output on a normal machine

On a qemu box it was exactly the same as the host amazing

sev1tech/debian-12

sysbench cpu run

Exact one for one CPU performance. That surprised me

When booting to EFI prompt on ramsey/macos-catalina /usr/bin is absent and so cannot disable csrutil

I've updated to the latest version of Catalina inside a macos-catalina box along with some tools like brew and ansible, however this now has some leftover junk in /Library/Updates that I want to remove in order to repackage the box.

Booting into EFI command from the boot loader works fine, however in FS2: the /usr/bin directory which would normally contain csrutil is missing, and so I cannot disable csrutil in order to clean up the junk.

I don't know a way of booting into safe mode from VirtualBox so I was under the impression that EFI command is the only way in order to do this. csrutil is present ok on the main os partition.
