A Docker container that runs a full macOS virtual machine on Linux hosts with KVM acceleration. It automatically downloads macOS installation files and provides a web-based viewer for controlling the VM.
Use cases
- run macOS in a Docker container on Linux
- spin up a macOS VM for testing Safari or Xcode builds
- automate macOS CI testing without physical hardware
- try macOS without buying a Mac
- run macOS on a home server with KVM
- share files between host and macOS VM
When to choose
- you have a Linux host with KVM and an AVX2-capable CPU
- you want a one-command macOS VM with automatic installer downloads
- you need web-based or VNC access to a macOS desktop
- you want Kubernetes or Docker Compose deployment of macOS VMs
When to avoid
- you are on macOS, Windows 10, or Docker Desktop without KVM access
- you need GPU acceleration or native macOS performance for production workloads
- running macOS VMs on non-Apple hardware conflicts with Apple's licensing terms for your use
- you need more than 4 GB RAM or less than 32 GB disk available
