Originally created by @paulsmith on GitHub (Jun 4, 2020).

The macOS installer starts up okay, but there is no option to install onto a disk that isn't locked.

Invoked with:

docker run --privileged --net host --cap-add=ALL -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /dev:/dev -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules sickcodes/docker-osx

Have you tried these?

# Boot the macOS Base System

# Click Disk Utility

# Erase the biggest disk

# Partition that disk and subtract 1GB and press Apply

# Click Reinstall macOS

thank @sickcodes for your great work.
I haven't try macos before. So what to do next after the installation?

I was also wondering about this.... is it ok to erase these disks that show up in here? it wont affect my host will it? and it wont consume a 200+GB space will it? or does it work like a VM 'thin provision' disk ?

Nope, I did it and it worked fine. It's just a qemu virtual disk. It's fine.

Yeah you don't even have to partition it, just erase the biggest disk and quit the disk utility

I got stuck here too, finally got the OS installed only to restart my container and everything gone. (Wish the docs were just a bit more clear about this)
