Can I run `Docker-OSX` under podman?

[leiless]

Hi, all. I wonder if I can run Docker-OSX inside podman?

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS(x86_64) with Podman 3.3.1

I am interested in running this inside podman as well.

My OS is Fedora 35(x86_64) with podman 3.4.1

I haven't used podman before but I assume yes, if it's just a Docker wrapper

It's more than a wrapper, and everybody should transit to podman, at least for security purposes, if not philosophical

I managed to make it work on podman + wsl with ubuntu 22.

Had to set podman machine to rootful, otherwise the mac does not have internet access and fails to install the OS. (Probably there is a right way to do it, but this worked for me)

On ubuntu, I ran echo $DISPLAY to find the display config used, which outputs :0. Then I replaced the -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" for -e "DISPLAY=:0". Using the original command was giving me lkg errors.

Final command was

podman run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -v /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=:0" sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

The project should really shift to PodMan, then after if possible to rootless (by fine tuning things like internet or so)

This is what ultimately worked for me on Arch Linux.

export XAUTHORITY=/home/<username>/.Xauthority
xhost +local:root
xhost +
sudo usermod -aG kvm <username>

podman run -it \
-device /dev/kvm \
-p 50922:10022 \
-p 22222:22 \
-p 5999:5999 \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e "DISPLAY=:1" \
-e AUDIO_DRIVER=pa,server=unix:/tmp/pulseaudio.socket \
-v "/run/user/$(id -u)/pulse/native:/tmp/pulseaudio.socket" \
-e MASTER_PLIST_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom.plist" \
-e EXTRA="-vnc 0.0.0.0:99,password=off" \
-e SHORTNAME=tahoe \
docker.io/sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

No doubt the "-EXTRA" options aren't needed but it works for me. Vncviewer seems to work fine for the install... I haven't tested SMB filesharing or anything else at this point....
