I ran this command on Ubuntu 20.04 in order to install macOS Monterey:

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom.plist' \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:monterey

I installed macOS and shutdown the system.

Now that I want to run the Docker again, I get this error:

fatal: could not create work tree dir 'OpenCorePkg': No space left on device

I check the space left on my partition and I have 5GB left. When I ran the command for the first time, I had 100GB left!
How is that possible? How can I change de disk space allocated for macOS (I want 80GB only)?

Edit:
I tried to change SIZE in Dockerfile.monterey and to pass --build-arg SIZE=80G at build but nothing changes. The size remains at 256GB.

So what do you expect from this issue? That someone buys you a bigger storage?

I expect that it just works...

In the meanwhile, I used another option. Thanks.

@ilyakatz I decided to directly use https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

thanks @cyrilfr that worked! Looks like it's a pretty common problem, here is how to resolve it to those who want a real answer https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM/issues/272, but can't use this project at the moment
