I wanted to play with MacOS catalina, for this I used an modern Xeon from around 2011 and 8GB of ram.
Make sure you have the following repo cloned and ready to go:
git clone https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
If you run Debian Buster you also need some other dependencies to get this to work:
apt install libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system
Git clone
git clone git@github.com:DrWhax/kvm-catalina.git
Follow instructions in the "macOS-Simple-KVM" before continueing.
qemu-img create -f qcow2 catalina.qcow2 64G
Jumpstart
./jumpstart.sh catalina
Add it to libvirt
sudo ./make.sh --add
Copy the qemu configuration in order for all things to work correctly.
(You might want to change the UID and check if all names are correct..)
cp macOS-Simple-KVM.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/macOS-Simple-KVM.xml
How to start and stop:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start macOS-Simple-KVM
virsh --connect qemu:///system destroy macOS-Simple-KVM
For VNC access (from client)
ssh server -L5900:localhost:5900
For VNC viewing I use remmina.
Use host localhost and port 5900 and protocol VNC.
Boom you're in!
