Seems to be fixed with:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/kvm

Then retried:

It now shows a black window with a hard disk with the text macOS Base System. If I click the disk it says QEMU - press CTRL+ALT+G to release grab. If I press the key combination nothing happens.

@sickcodes Of course. I did not think about that I was running from the KVM VM, I think I only had 40GB disk allocated to the VM. I am trying on another machine now, but now trying a custom setup of RAM and disk space:

docker build --build-arg VERSION=10.15.5 --build-arg SIZE=100G -t docker-osx:latest .

But when I run it:

docker run -e RAM=8 -e SMP=4 -e CORES=4 -e EXTRA= -e INTERNAL_SSH_PORT=10022 --privileged -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix docker-osx:latest

I get

gtk initialization failed

According to #1 I should be able to do

sudo apt install x11-xserver-utils
xhost +

and then run

 docker run --privileged -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix sickcodes/docker-osx ./OpenCore-Boot.sh

but this gives me:

@sickcodes I tried to run the original command on the new machine:

docker run --privileged -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix sickcodes/docker-osx

and was able to install macOS 10.15.5 with 200GB disk! It is Great! Though I am not able to set the disk size and the version of the OS as you can do with docker-osx:latest so I hope this can be fixed in the future

@sickcodes commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2020):

They’re both the same, one is built on hub.docker.com the other is local.

However, we changed disk size to 200G because it didn’t matter and there were complaints for too small disk size.

Glad to hear you fixed the issue :) I will remove the messages about disk size because it doesn’t really matter how big. It only matters how small :)
