OSX-KVM is a project that enables running macOS as a virtualized guest operating system on non-Apple hardware using QEMU/KVM and the OpenCore bootloader. It provides the core capability to install and boot macOS on a Linux host, supporting GPU passthrough for improved graphics performance and remote access via SSH and VNC for headless management. The project distinguishes itself by offering a complete virtualization stack for macOS, including hardware passthrough for physical GPUs and other devices, integration with libvirt and virt-manager for graphical VM management, and the ability to boot
This is a virtualization tool designed to run macOS guest operating systems, such as Catalina, Mojave, and High Sierra, inside VirtualBox on Windows, Linux, or Mac hardware. It provides a system for deploying these operating systems on x86 CPUs using official installation files. The project includes specialized utilities to manage EFI and NVRAM settings, enabling the emulation of device serial numbers and board identifiers to allow connectivity for cloud services and messaging. It also features a configurator for adjusting CPUID profiles and display resolutions to ensure hardware compatibilit
VirtualBuddy is a graphical user interface and manager for creating and running macOS virtual machines on Apple Silicon. It serves as an interface for the native Apple Virtualization Framework, allowing users to provision and boot guest operating systems on ARM-based hardware. The tool provides a dedicated environment for managing virtual machine administration and software compatibility testing across different macOS versions. It enables the execution of guests via local files, remote URLs, or image catalogs, and supports booting into recovery mode for system repairs. The system covers hard
Cloud Hypervisor is a Rust-based hypervisor and KVM virtual machine monitor designed to execute 64-bit guest operating systems. It functions as a user-space virtual machine manager that employs a minimal emulation layer to reduce memory overhead and latency for cloud workloads. The project distinguishes itself through the use of a memory-safe language to implement a virtio device emulator and a user-space device model. It provides a standardized web API for managing virtual machine lifecycles and resource configurations. The platform covers broad virtualization capabilities, including the em
