OSX

I was wondering if support for OSX with QEMU is possible.

I gave it a try and got along way.

ok so OSX seems a happy camper:

config.status: executing depfiles commands

    runv  0.8.0
    build OS:   darwin16.4.0
    prefix:     /usr/local
    has go:     yes
    with xen:   no
    with libvirt: no
    has virtualbox: yes

But my main task is to run stuff in QEMU / KVM. For example i want to run chromium-os in my case. https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/running-chromeos-image-under-virtual-machines#TOC-Getting-the-VM-image

I have QEMU installed ok:

qemu-2.8.0 already installed
x-MacBook-Pro:runv apple$ qemu-system-arm
qemu-system-arm: No machine specified, and there is no default
Use -machine help to list supported machines

Out of the box it's not going to work because there is no KVM in macOS. You could try to hack on hypervisor/qemu/qemu_amd64.go by starting removing everything related to kvm. By the way, why do you want to use runv to run chromium-os?

From the hyperd's perspective, the most significant problem is there is no layered graph driver on Mac right now.

I need to run chrome is to help testing my apps. This is part of CI. Then integration tests run on the actual chrome OS

I'd use this: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/testing/running-smoke-suite-on-a-vm-image as a base for your own tests.

Thanks will give it a shot
