A collection of Packer templates and support scripts that build unattended macOS installer media and produce Vagrant-compatible virtual machine boxes. It supports VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, and Parallels providers and can be customized for CI or other non-Vagrant uses.
Use cases
- build macOS Vagrant boxes automatically with Packer
- create unattended macOS VM installs for testing
- generate macOS VM images for CI pipelines
- automate macOS VM provisioning on VMware, VirtualBox, or Parallels
- prepare customized macOS base boxes with Chef or Puppet installed
When to choose
- you need reproducible macOS Vagrant boxes built from official installers
- you want unattended macOS installs for CI or development environments
- you use Packer with VMware, VirtualBox, or Parallels on a Mac host
When to avoid
- you need modern macOS versions beyond Sierra (10.12)
- you want to virtualize macOS on non-Apple hardware (licensing and support limitations)
- you use VeeWee, whose support is unmaintained here
