I have the same issue... if someone could help, would be fantastic 🙂

Will this work with dual Xeon X5660s? I seem to remember they lacked the instructions in the past but now I'm seeing something about emulation?  I am able to boot the docker-osx images but would prefer a VM.

My macos VM always crashes in the newest Unraid when my fenvi wifi/Bluetooth Controller is passed through. Any one else with this Problem?

this is Not Happening with Unraid 10.3 the version i am downgrading to

Is there a guide somehow on how to modify config.plist?  I see you need to use the Opencore Configurator but I can't figure out what that is or how I access it from Unraid?  

Is this supposed to be visible in the VM tab of Unraid? Or do we select Web UI in the Docker tab. Sorry new to all of this and can't seem to open this in a VNC. Any help is much appreicated.

It's a docker that runs once and creates a VM that'll be on the VM tab. Follow the instructions.

That's what I figured. For whatever reason after installing macinabox, nothing shows up under my VM tab. I've followed the instructions unless there's something I'm missing.

You have to watch the video to see how to use the docker w/ the userscripts to install the VM.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions - think I need to find a GPU to pass through for my VM.  The web/VNC connection is extremely laggy to the point to where it's painful to use the system.

 

I have an older MSI R6450 card laying around (Card Specs) that I could throw in if it would help, although with it's age I'm not sure how much it would really help.

 

My goal is to keep the VM headless, just have it be a bit more responsive via the web/vnc connection.  My other VMs are not nearly this laggy.

MSI R6450

It seems it doesn't support uefi and it's too old, for me it's a no go.

Apple os uses a lot of gpu acceleration, more than any other os, so as you found, no gpu means laggy and near unusable system.

ahhh, that's a great point that I missed.  I'll keep looking for something inexpensive to see if I can boost the performance.  I have a few marked down from reading around:

 

Sapphire RX470 

RX590

RX560

RX6600xt

 

So far, looks like I should avoid:

RX580

RX6700

RX550

XFX RX560

 

No personal experience with any of them - frankly, the only reason I have that MSI card laying around is that I used to use it as a dedicated card to an ESXi VM a LONG time ago to give a physical interface.  

 

my iGPU is passed through Plex and is killing it.  I don't want to take away from that performance, so I'll look to pick something up to help the Mac out a bit.

Having a working gpu passthrough in mac os can be a nightmare.

Have a look at the dortania website about gpu and hackintosh compatibility.

Note also that we have an additional issue in our vms: the amd gpu reset bug.

Unraid should have a patched kernel for this but some gpus may not work correctly when rebooting the vm.

As far as I know only the amd 6000 series has not this bug, I have a 6900 xt that works really well, but hey..it's expensive!

Note also that unless you plan to stick with catalina, or patch the root of the os in newer oses, apple removed the nvidia drivers.

I have no experience with igpu, still running a dual v1 xeon build, but if having a gpu passed through is difficult, having an igpu passed through is VERY difficult.

I appreciate the heads up, I'll look into this a bit more before committing one way or another.

The main use of this VM is going to be syncing a music library across multiple mobile devices.  I have an older Mac mini that I'd like to remove from service if I can get this reliable.

Frankly, the slow interface can be tolerated for the sporadic use this system will get.  I just know it *could* be better.  The OS is currently "Big Sur" and I don't have any plans to upgrade at this point.  I have my laptop for day to day things.

I try to use a Saphire RX460 with MacInaBox on Catalina but it's black screen...

Does anyone had test this RX460 on OSX ?

isnt it suppose to be 15gigs?
When  i start the VM, it starts as the apple logo, loads half way then it reboots itself, like in a loop!

eDit: it loads up to option menu where it shows macos base system, uefi and reset nvram. I press on macos base system, it loads a quarter way then errors out and resets to the option menu again!

Edit2: logs of VM shows 2023-02-10T10:14:53.445182Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.80000001H:ECX.fma4 [bit 16]

 

I am getting this same experience with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core @ 4100 MHz system.  So far I think Big Sur is working though it has not finished installing.

Has anyone got Macinabox Monterey working?

 

NOTE:  This is the first time I have ever used Machinabox docker from @SpaceInvaderOne

oh one more thing.  What is the process to destroy and redeploy a Macinabox VM.  Seems when select remove VM and Disk it just spins.

Hey Guys...

 

recently spun up a bigsur vm for the first time and noticed that it was crashing 5-10 minutes into every session requiring a reset.  Then I had activity monitor running when it crashed and noticed the graphs were still working running so it seems like just my mouse and keyboard input break randomly at times.  

 

Tried to do a search since this seems like a common thing but didn't really find any solutions and a few posts of people that ran into similar issues.

 

Does anyone know what's going on?  mouse + keyboard input via VNC just stop working.

 

Thanks!

Has anyone played with docker-OSX?

 

This would run much better as a docker with shared resources etc.

 

https://hub.docker.com/r/sickcodes/docker-osx

 

I'm still learning how to add a custom docker

 

Hope to have it up and running soon on unraid

me too!

 

I am new to the forums and VMs so let me know if this is the wrong place but I am trying to setup a BigSur VM following the video and directions. For some reason the VDISK allocation size is going to 10G instead of 100G and thus I can't install the operating system. I left the docker container to default values (100G) so I am not sure where the VM is choosing to go to 10. Any advice? I have tried deleting the VM, scripts, and rerunning everything but I still ended up in the same spot. Thanks!

Edited March 21, 20233 yr by itsagreg

Did you delete the vdisk as well?

Hi everyone.

First of all I would like to inform that I'm an Unraid newbie but have researched extensively before posting.

 

I'm using Spaceinvader One's great Macinabox tool as you might have guessed.

I really needed a Monterey VM but for some reason but for some reason when rebooting from the initial startup I always get an error even if I reset the NVRAM.

 

Since I wasn't able to install Monterey I went with BigSur.

When using the VM with VNC and 2 USB controllers passthrough, everything runs fine but to fully use the VM I need GPU passthrough as well.

I've got Windows VMs running GPU passthrough without issues.

Not on BigSur though. The VM boots and after choosing the boot disk, the progress bar reaches about 10% then I get a blank display.

I was careful to have multimode on the GPU PCI configuration as well as having the same BUS for GPU and Audio and different functions on those as well.

I am new to the forums and VMs so let me know if this is the wrong place but I am trying to setup a BigSur VM following the video and directions. For some reason the VDISK allocation size is going to 10G instead of 100G and thus I can't install the operating system. I left the docker container to default values (100G) so I am not sure where the VM is choosing to go to 10. Any advice? I have tried deleting the VM, scripts, and rerunning everything but I still ended up in the same spot. Thanks!

virsh undefine --nvram "Macinabox BigSur"

Don't forget to delete the VM files on /mnt/user/domains/

I couldn't get Monterey to work so I'm back to Big Sur.

Using the new Macinabox container, do I have to use a particular version of Opencore Configurator to complete the installation or should I just go grab the latest one?

 

When I run the latest 2.67.1.0, I get a popup that says "You seem to have an old version of OpenCore bootloader. This app creates a configuration file for 0.9.0 and higher versions. Use at your own risk."
