Qemu/Catalina with Spice viewer remote viewer.

Launch.sh for Docker-OSX - can adapt to Quickemu. This setup is optimized for remote-viewer. If you want PCI/GPU passthrough look at KVM-Opencore.

Mostly my own testing/tweaks/documentation.

Working:

• multiple displays with Spice client
• Catalina: improved Spice USB redirection (ich9-usb-ehci1)
• Audio output/microphone
• Virtio-9P - with NFS share
• QMP port for qmp-shell/virsh ./qmp-shell 172.17.0.3:7008
• Qemu Guest Agent for AppleQEMUGuestAgent/QEMUGuestAgent
• Seamless mouse: beware of unexpected display problems. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/723

Almost working:

• Spice client folder sharing WebDav using phodav. Working-ish when built with Brew. IMO phodav is buggy and has weird build issues with glib.
• "Seamless" mouse with Spice remote-viewer works with libvirt config but not bare-metal qemu cli. Need more info. Update: working now

Not working:

• spice-vdagent needs to be ported to MacOS - needed for seamless mouse integrationclipboard
• vdagent channel passthrough works and cat /dev/tty.com.redhat.spice.0 on macos guest releases focus and shows mouse activity

Issues

• Fixing boot order
• ACPI/guest sleeping/wakeup problems.
