Originally created by @calvin2021y on GitHub (Jan 24, 2022).

My os is Debian11, default gnome wayland desktop:

try start with (already download the image)

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    --privileged \
    -v "${PWD}/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img:/image" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/master/custom/config-nopicker-custom.plist \
-e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
-e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
-e QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland \
-e GDK_BACKEND=wayland \
-e CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland \
-e DISPLAY=:0 \
-v $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY:/tmp/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

and with this

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
   --privileged \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true \
    -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom.plist' \
-e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
-e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
-e QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland \
-e GDK_BACKEND=wayland \
-e CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland \
-e DISPLAY=:1 \
-v $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY:/tmp/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:monterey

both run into this problem:

I try run with sudo, without sudo I get this:

docker: unknown server OS: .
See 'docker run --help'.

Try reinstall docker-ce and add user into docker group, no need to run docker as root:

id
uid=1001(calvin) gid=1001(calvin) groups=1001(calvin),27(sudo),106(kvm),112(libvirt),998(docker)

boot into this problem:

QEMU 6.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) gtk initialization failed
