A Python-based automation toolkit and guide for creating macOS virtual machines on Linux using KVM/QEMU, with OpenCore bootstrapping and optional GPU passthrough via VFIO. It walks users through setup with an interactive 'AutoPilot' installer and supports recent macOS releases including Tahoe.
Use cases
- set up a macOS virtual machine on Linux with KVM
- automate QEMU macOS VM installation
- passthrough a GPU to a macOS guest with VFIO
- run macOS on a Linux host for Xcode builds
- create an OpenCore-booted macOS VM with virt-manager
- avoid poor performance of macOS in VirtualBox or VMware
When to choose
- you run Linux with KVM/QEMU and want a guided, automated macOS VM setup
- you want GPU passthrough to a macOS guest
- you are new to macOS virtualization and need step-by-step automation
When to avoid
- your host is Windows or macOS rather than Linux
- you need a legally straightforward licensed macOS deployment (Apple's EULA restricts macOS VMs to Apple hardware)
- you need production-grade enterprise virtualization management rather than a setup helper
