Apart from VirtualBox, are there any alternatives around?
@kbarmen OSS Qemu (in homebrew), and closed source there is Parallels Desktop for Mac and VMware Fusion.
The code here is the base of Docker for Mac's VM, see https://github.com/moby/hyperkit.
Yes, was about to answer myself about qemu.. .but it is really slow compared to xhyve, I suppose because it doesn't use the hypervisor framework of macos :( Will look at the hyperkit, maybe there are some tricks to speed things up.
And, thanks for quick reply! 👍
Latest qemu actually can use Hypervisor.framework, it works for me by simply passing -machine pc,accel=hvf -cpu host
to qemu...

~No, this does not appear to be the case as of QEMU 3.0.0~
~Passing -machine pc,accel=hvf -cpu host
or simply -accel hvf
returns
-machine accel=hvf: No accelerator found
~
~QEMU 2.12 added "experimental" support for Apple's Hypervisor.framework which is removed in the latest stable release (installed via homebrew). -accel help
Possible accelerators: kvm, xen, hax, tcg

Update: It accepts the flags under qemu-system-x86_64

Works for me.
Can we add a notice on the README that the project is dead and people should use QEMU with the appropriate flags?
Nobody but the original repo owner has write access to the repo. :(
That was fixed yesterday.
This project looks awesome, is this still under development?
