What's the plan for MacOS?

Open alexellis opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

What's the plan for MacOS? I got this running nicely on my Dell XPS with Ubuntu 16.04, but I guess it's back to VMs and Vagrant for Macs?

You can dress it up and try to hide it like Docker but there is no alternative to VMs on a Mac...

I agree, Linux is needed. Most folks I guess have Docker Desktop and you'd need to get them off that or have 2x VMs.

So no workaround for mac ?

Best option for Mac (to test k3c today) is probably to use https://multipass.run

I was about to suggest multipass myself.

Thank you, I already tried with multipass :)!

If k3c lives beyond the experimental stage, one approach maybe to take a hint from Docker on Mac and have k3c daemon use hyperkit to run a minimal k3c daemon image that the rest of k3c uses when running on macos, thoughts?

You can run it inside Multipass without any issues (that uses HyperKit).

I'm aware of that. I'm just thinking about ideas to get k3c running as natively as possible on macos without having to install other dependencies
