![]() ![]() Also we could research more options to export the fresh install volume (the DMG) to a vdi/vmdk, unfortunately VirtualBox doesn't like the DMG that AutoDMG is producing which is why I ended doing the script instead of using AutoDMG+vFuse. I would suggest doing the whole process using VirtualBox since it is free, to reduce the number of scripts and templates to maintain, and make a separate script to convert the generated virtualbox packer box into a parallel packer box o vmware packer box. But I wonder if it would be possible to copy the full installer and from a boot script (like the rc.cdrom.local service) start the install using startosinstall.īut what we could improve easily is the packer current pipeline removing the need of exporting the OVF and reimporting it back into packer.

Minimum 4 GB VRAM: CPU: AMD 64 or Intel 64 multi-core processor. If you wish to upgrade please consult the FAQ. Also the process of creating the vdi/vmdk, creating a OVA/OVF package and then importing it into packer is quite un-optimal. Mac OS 10.10.x Yosemite, 10.11.x El Capitan, or 10.12.x Sierra macOS 10.13 High Sierra is not yet certified. You are right, unfortunately we can only make AutoDMG-like installs if we are installing the same guest OS as the host. I just read that in 10.13+ they have added a new parameter to startosinstall to install additional packages which it is quite interesting, but startosinstall can only be used for updating an installation AFAIK. So it became very hard to automate the whole installation. Also they restricted the target of startosinstall. Apple added a security restriction to the 10.12.4+ installers making impossible to include non-Apple packages. ![]()
