aarch64-darwin support? #154
Comments
I guess qemu should run but I don't run Darwin myself. Contributions welcome! |
I also would love to have this capability on nix-darwin. I typically have used nixos or fedora in the past, and my work made me switch to macos on an m2 processor, which makes virtualization/containers really painful. Lima has been a decent solution, but a project this could be a game changer for mac / nix-darwin users. Does anyone with knowledge of this project and of macos/darwin know how feasible this would be to implent? |
Looking at the source code of Not knowing anything about differences in CPU architectures and also not knowing anything about virtualisation packages (e.g. qemu) and their differences, I'm just pulling that statement out of thin air. I started by adding "aarch64-darwin" to https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix/blob/main/flake.nix#L22. This is a search result of
Maybe we can try creating a branch and working on it together? |
@ss-twieland I would be happy to help test things out if need be |
VMMs will need to run on Apple's virtualization technology, not Linux/KVM. It is not supported by most VMMs but I guess at least qemu should include support. |
There is also the MacOS runner for github: runs-on: macos-12 |
We would like to use
microvm
to provide staging and build environments for developers, but a few of them use apple hardware/software.I can't find a way to use this project to run
aarch64-linux
vm (qemu) guest onaarch64-darwin
, and I guess this is not supported....Is there any chance of supporting this? I am not that familiar with nix, but I might contribute a patch if you have a few pointer on where to start
