Originally created by @leduardo99 on GitHub (Mar 14, 2021).

Is it possible to create an OSX container using a windows machine as a host or do we really need to use Linux?

I use Windows and I have Docker, but I was unable to use the aforementioned commands.

Please see existing Windows discussion here: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/37

It is incredibly slow on WSL2, might change in the future though if Windows keeps doing what they're doing!

@sickcodes sorry - I'm totally confused in terms of running OSX container on Windows machine. I followed https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX#id-like-to-run-docker-osx-with-wsl2-windows-ubuntu , but all points to WSL so does it mean running this container on Windows is not possible and the only option is to run it on Linux inside WSL? I tried to launch the big sur container on pure Windows, but it failed because of missing KVM device:

...
Status: Downloaded newer image for sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur
docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/kvm": no such file or directory.

Yeah it won't work in pure Windows, it requires WSL2. Were you able to get it to work?

Understand - thanks. I'll give it a try. It probably makes sense to improve the readme little bit: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/pull/361
