Originally created by @a10kiloham on GitHub (Apr 14, 2021).

I'm up and stable and using the naked image to persist through reboots. Everything works great except the picker always comes up. My Launch_custom.sh and Launch.sh both seem to be showing NOPICKER=true (and in the terminal I can see that env is set) but the picker seems to be confused. I always get the picker and have to click my image to start it. This probably a silly question but where does the QEMU get the image name from? Thanks!

Ssh'ing into the machine I see the Launch_custom lines as follows:

-drive id=OpenCoreBoot,if=none,snapshot=on,format=qcow2,file=${BOOTDISK:-/home/arch/OSX-KVM/OpenCore-Catalina/OpenCore.qcow2} \
-device ide-hd,bus=sata.2,drive=OpenCoreBoot \
-drive id=MacHDD,if=none,file=${IMAGE_PATH:-/home/arch/OSX-KVM/mac_hdd_ng.img},format=${IMAGE_FORMAT:-qcow2} \

Is the BOOTDISK variable being passed in incorrectly from the Dockerfile?

Thanks for pointing that out!

Do you think the Dockerfile is too abstract currently or is it good?

It makes sense overall - I just thought it was a little hard to follow the flow since it pulls from the other repo so I was initially confused where the Launch.sh comes from. Might be useful to have a few prewritten Launch.sh scripts vs autogenerating them on the fly in the Dockerfiles as can be a bit more modular that way, but not a huge deal :)

I agree, it's a bit messy at the moment, as we have two patches.

I saw you moved the disk stuff into the Launch script, I will consider making that normal :)

Just have to make sure it works again with docker start and all

May I ask how did you "manually pass in the BOOTDISK variable" exactly?
-e "BOOTDISK=/home/arch/OSX-KVM/OpenCore-Catalina/OpenCore-nopicker.qcow2" doesn't work for me.

Confirmed!
It works now!
Thanks a lot!
For others' reference, here is the complete command:

podman run -i --name mike \
    --device /dev/kvm \  # this line should be irrelevant
    -e EXTRA="-display none -vnc 0.0.0.0:99,password=on" \    # this line should be irrelevant
    -v `pwd`/volumes/image:/image \    # this line should be irrelevant
    -e SMP=30 -e CORES=1 -e RAM=56 \    # this line should be irrelevant
    -e WIDTH=1600 -e HEIGHT=900 \   # this line should be irrelevant
    -e NOPICKER=true \
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-nopicker-custom.plist' \

-e NOPICKER=true \ is also irrelevant if you override it with your own MASTER_PLIST_URL which has nopicker on, because the full URL is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-nopicker-custom.plist
