Dear all I have followed your instructions to install macos but
after every successful installation the procedure starts again instead of booting to the installed disk
What is wrong with my installation?

Best regards
Giannis Tsoulos

Do you see the boot menu (showing two hard drives) after install? Have you chosen the one you have installed OSX to (instead of the base volume)?

No I see only the drive to install macos

Here is the command that I execute as root

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

The new drive will only show up after installation. Before installation, did you use "disk utility" to "erase" and "create" on the LARGEST drive?

Oh I see. The docker volume does not presist so you have lost the installation. I would suggest you using docker-compose. git clone this project, and docker-compose up -d.

So, you say to execute docker-compose up -d after the installation?

No. Use docker-compose up -d from the very begining, so the "docker volume" will be managed and persist by docker-compose. After installation, use and shut-down, you can use docker-compose up -d next time you need to use OSX.

docker ps to get the container ID

docker start containerid

Otherwise you'll get a new box every time.
