2.docker run --device /dev/kvm --device /dev/snd -p 8888:5999 -p 50922:10022 -d --privileged docker-osx-vnc:latest
3.VNC connect
4.Boot the macOS Base System
5.Click Disk Utility
6.Erase the BIGGEST disk

How much disk space do you have? I have tested the latest image, I will give it another test today.

Which disk did you select to install onto?

If you haven't, I'd make sure you also have swap enabled. That made a huge difference for me. Like a 40 gig swap file.

I have actually noticed installations can freeze if:

  • Internet drops out

  • VPN on/off

Try fiddling with your connection. I have been unable to install once or twice solely based on the IP I was using.

Solved by adding :auto image

EDIT: real issue is networking to Apple servers and can occur randomly depending on your origin IP address

Good day.

I am trying to install it on WSL2 but Getting this error on the console close to the end of the installation:

"qemu-system-x86_64: Slirp: Failed to send packet, ret: -1"

Any ideas?

@bloem777 this is usually due to networking issues with the Docker bridge. Are you able to visit anything in the recovery Safari?
