I wanted to see if Minikube on the M1 could be easily set up. Looking back I should have just used Rancher Desktop to run an etcd cluster locally, but I remembered Minikube had etcd installed automatically. Rancher Desktop was working fine, but I needed an etcd node integrated with Kubernetes for a little programming project I have going on. Knowing that the processor architecture changed from Intel (x86) to ARM (M1), after a year things should certainly have been ironed out… right?Īfter checking I found out that some tools didn’t work, like VirtualBox but there are often others that do work without issues.Īfter installing Rancher desktop on the m1 I ran into an issue that /usr/local/bin was not created and ownership was not set to my user, this was easy to resolve by the solution below.

The new Macbook M1 Pro had raving reviews, super performance, and long battery life. To get up and running quickly I decided to stick with technology that I knew before, hardware I have used for the past 8 years without breaking down has been Apple MacBook Pro’s.

They're also problematic because Apple's T&Cs for macOS only permit the software to run on actual Macs, not whatever x86 box you've built for the job.This year I started my own company: 0to1. It's certainly possible to create a Hackintosh but they are a faff to get running reliably, in my opinion. Some of you may at this point suggest DIY x86 Macs, aka Hackintoshes, as an alternative. Those among you who buy one as a curiosity will need to go into the purchase with eyes wide open. Folks who need this kind of VM will know they're headed for strange places, but also know that a properly isolated virtual machine can mitigate some security concerns. I'm also happy without long-term security support for these appliances.

While the idea of macOS on a hypothetical future four-socket PC brandishing a fistful of 32-core i9s sounds like fun, I understand that Apple will need primacy for its Arm-powered products. I'm totally happy if these appliances won't run on future computers more powerful than today's Macs. That long-awaited, super-hyped Apple launch: Watches, iPads. There will also be some people who have their own special reasons for just wanting x86 macOS machines for the long haul. They can continue to run those software suites in their virtual macOS appliance on whatever suitable PC they have.
Your humble hack thinks it is time to change that policy because it is inevitable that a small-but-significant number of macOS users run applications that are tightly coupled to Apple's Intel-powered hardware and will be a colossal pain in the rear to migrate to anything else. Non-Macs are prohibited from booting macOS, virtual or otherwise.

The operating system's fine print right now permits up to two virtual instances of macOS per Apple Mac machine with macOS installed. We should be able to officially virtualize macOS on whatever suitable host hardware we have to hand. I want it to announce something entirely more useful, though: a macOS x86 virtual appliance for all capable systems.Īpple has famously resisted macOS being virtualized on computers other than its own, but now it's engineered a mass-extinction event for Intel Macs by shifting to Arm, that policy should change. Supposedly it'll be the sixth Watch series, and a mid-tier iPad Air.
Comment Apple will today announce shiny new things.
