Tart images building - Githubissues

sparshev commented 7 months ago

On MacOS M1 (aarch64/arm64) it's quite hard to run VM's - VMWare Fusion 13.5 don't want to run macos guests, while tart looks like good candidate:

Opensource: https://github.com/cirruslabs/tart
Utilizes MacOS virtualization framework to run VM's
Can run macos and linux VM's (not windows for now)
Already supported by packer: https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/integrations/cirruslabs/tart/latest/components/builder/tart
Have initial macos image examples: https://github.com/cirruslabs/macos-image-templates/blob/master/templates/vanilla-ventura.pkr.hcl
Can use softnet binary to manage networking
Supports nesting building, but no snapshotting - probably could be solved by using tar incremental archives...

Tested modified softnet binary - it's indeed possible to block global net access by changing Some(()) to None while still having access to the host IP

Yeah, tart have a couple of issues, so need to fix them before it can be properly automated.
