- rvnx 5mo agoTo create an ephemeral (docker-like) MacOS VM on a Mac with full performance and access (e.g. GPU) you have to use a virtualization API provided by Apple. For most CI use, you can choose between: Anka, a "contact-us for pricing" closed-source projet, where you have to pay expensive license (easy 3000 USD/yr per machine) or tart, which is a lightweight wrapper around the official Apple API. But you have to know that on MacOS, there is an artificial limit of 2 VMs per Mac... but well: https://github.com/cirruslabs/orchard/commit/3cfa2445500f45fd950ea7a664036b940b057723#diff-125b6420cd4b2c9868ee7a09cb59101e62b12128efbfb72205c472c17a50a925R51 https://github.com/cirruslabs/orchard/commit/3cfa2445500f45f...

Even without bypassing the limit it is great actually
