Originally created by @pkos98 on GitHub (Mar 27, 2021).

  • I have > 50GB of free space
  • I have 8 GB of total RAM
  • Linux architect 5.11.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:53:54 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After running the docker image, Erasing the Disk, Creating a new partition with <size>-1GB and clicking on "reinstall Mac-OS" the installation always hangs - on Catalina and Big Sur! On Catalina it always hangs at the "4 minutes remaining" mark.

This usually relates to IP address. Can you try with a VPN on?

@sickcodes I tried it using my company's VPN and unfortunately it did not change anything.

You can use an already made image

wget https://images2.sick.codes/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v "${PWD}/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img:/image" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

Can you show me the docker command you used to run the container?

Have you changed the location of /var/lib/docker?

How fast is your internet?

Right now I am downloading the mac image with constant 12 MB/s, I pay for a 100MBit connection und usually don't have problems with it (latency/loss rate wise).

Sure, the command I used is:

docker run --privileged -it \                                                               
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

I didn't change the location, and my /etc/docker/daemon.json only contains this line: { "storage-driver": "devicemapper" }.

Many thanks for your help, btw!

Happy to help where I can, so don't hesitate to reach out if you need some information.

Also, what's the admin user's password in the image you provided :D?

alpine

To get root just do sudo su

Password is alpine

And then change the password using passwd

You may need to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config and allow root login

Change permit root login to yes I think

Restart sshd or reboot if you are unsure how to restart sshd
