Hello I ran this

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:big-sur

And formatted my largest qemu harddisk to APFS format which is about 214Gb. Virtualization is enabled in the bios. And I have an i5 8th gen intel laptop with 24Gb ram. So it should be capable enough.

But it getting stuck at installation stage. It keeps showing 2 hours and 19 minutes remaining.....and the progress bar move at all. What might be the issue?

It will take a while to install, but that is correct.

Rarely, your IP address may be prevented from downloading the image.

Can you try with a VPN or proxy?

It also depends on your internet speed, right now I am installing and it's using 500Mbps

Hello, I just ran into the same issue, and it doesn't seem to come from anything network related (same behaviour on tethering and 4 different networks, with or without going through a VPN).

This also seems to affect the 3 different OSX versions available, the only difference between each one is the point where they get stuck (multiple attempts for each) :

  • catalina : 7 minutes left
  • big-sur & monterey : 43 minutes left
