Unfortunately, the progress is not very granular at the moment. We're only incrementing the percentage you see for each new chunk pulled (roughly 500 MB
), so it goes from 0% to like 4-6%.
You can check the exact speed in the Activity Monitor by switching to Network
tab and searching for the tart
process.
i'm seeing a similar issue here: running tart clone ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-monterey-vanilla:latest test
simply times out.
i've been running this a couple of times today, and I think the longest run took 1½ hours and it stayed at 0%
(!) - so I eventually killed the process.
The internet connectivity of the machine is fine (and i was able to download the macos-sonoma-vanilla
and macos-ventura-vanilla
images without problems.
since I run these commands via ssh on a remote machine, I unfortunately cannot access the Activity Monitor for more details.
it would be nice if we could instrument the pull
a bit, e.g.:
--verbose
with more printout during operation--chunksize
parameter to try different/smaller chunks (hopefully getting updates more often)SIGUSR1
and print info about what is currently going onsince I run these commands via ssh on a remote machine, I unfortunately cannot access the Activity Monitor for more details.
however, i can install iftop
(via homebrew), which shows that my throughput varies between 200Mb and 5Mb (and downloading 16GB at 5Mbit should take about 10 hours, so no wonder that it takes ages.
unfortunately the files are also only updated once a complete chunk has been downloaded (otherwise the filesize would be an easily accessible metric for progress)
I tried to use
tart clone
to make a VM but it is just stuck at 0% for so long,
