All I saw here was about running on Linux or Windows.

My idea was to have a simple macOS image with homebrew to build macOS related apps in a contained environment: Dockerfile with FROM ... (which image?) and RUN brew install..., using my own Mac (silicon) as a host.

Here for the same reason :) Curious about the solution

Same here!

I think the --device flag should not be KVM since this KVM is not made for macOS. But i guess there should be a other build system available then KVM but then for Mac

Use buildx for building docker image.
E.g.:
docker buildx build -t my-image --platform=linux/amd64 --progress=plain --build-arg DISPLAY=$DISPLAY .
Then run container like so:
docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 --net=host --name mi-container my-image.

I tried Dockerfile starting with FROM sickcodes/docker-osx:monterey. It created and launched successfully.
However, I stuck on installing homebrew into container. Can not get how to add homebrew to the PATH.
There is no ~/.zprofile or ~/.zshrc o r~/.profile inside image...

UPDATE
It is ~/.guestfish. RUN echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.guestfish to add brew to the PATH.

Well, that did not quite work for me. Is your hosting Mac an M1/2 (silicon chip)?

When I run your instructions I got:

But if I do:

run --rm -it --platform linux/amd64 --net=host --name mi-container --entrypoint=/bin/bash my-image

I got the prompt. However, lscpu is not auspicious:

I'm not surprised to linux, what I'm surprised is to see x86_64.

In the end, I'm hoping to see a darwin and arm64, like when I do uname -a in my host Mac (silicon).

I did try:

docker buildx build -t my-image --platform=darwin/amd64 --progress=plain --build-arg DISPLAY=$DISPLAY .

So I'm back to square one, is there such image? Or, is there a way to build it?

Yes, I'm using MacBook Pro m1 pro

In the end, I'm hoping to see a darwin and arm64, like when I do uname -a in my host Mac (silicon).

From what I seen these "Docker-OSX" are based on linux x86_64 image. So no, there is no clean arm macOs image. Correct me if I am wrong.

This definitely seems like it should be possible since UTM is just a GUI for running QEMU and it runs on M1 ARM. (https://mac.getutm.app/).
EDIT: I was wrong, UTM on MacOS uses the Apple virtualization not QEMU.

@ylluminate commented on GitHub (Dec 4, 2022):

@patniemeyer you can use QEMU actually with UTM to run pre-Apple Virtualization supported guest virtual machines. For example, Mojave and High Sierra can and should be run this way. We definitely need to see macOS support here since there are still essential usecases for older OS releases, especially Mojave.

@ylluminate commented on GitHub (Dec 4, 2022): @patniemeyer you can use QEMU actually with UTM to run pre-Apple Virtualization supported guest virtual machines. For example, Mojave and High Sierra can and should be run this way. We definitely need to see macOS support here since there are still essential usecases for older OS releases, especially Mojave.
