I would like to start the virtual machine automatically when the host boots. This means, a) to start the virtualOS application, and b) to start the (preconfigured) macOS from it. Is this possible? Is this possible without modifying and rebuilding the app?

I need this feature, too.

Thanks for adding this feature! Merged https://github.com/yep/virtualOS/pull/23, created a new TestFlight beta (use https://testflight.apple.com/join/vWKNYgmM to join the beta) and uploaded version 1.2.1 containing this feature to the Apple AppStore.

Starting the virtualOS app when the machine boots should be possible like this: https://support.apple.com/de-de/guide/mac-help/mh15189/mac

If it's not possible to pass the --args start argument when opening the app on boot/login, it is also possible add a checkbox for starting the VM when the app is opened to the settings window.
