Prox­mox Set­up and Ma­cOS In­stal­la­tion

Great man­u­al pro­vid­ed by i12bretro which I've used to in­stall Ma­cOS 13 Ven­ture:

• YouTube: Run­ning a Ma­cOS Mon­terey VM in Prox­Mox VE (al­so much com­ments about GPU PT are pro­vid­ed there)
• Guide: Run­ning a Ma­cOS Mon­terey VM in Prox­Mox VE (lo­cal copy of the guide)

Be­low is shown my fi­nal con­fig­u­ra­tion file.

Pot In­stal­la­tion Set­up

Cur­rent­ly I'm us­ing Spice/​​​QXL for dis­play dri­ver. Note there is not Ma­cOS guest tool avail­able and this is the rea­son we can't change the res­o­lu­tion with­in the guest. We can set dif­fer­ent res­o­lu­tions with­in the Open­Core EFI set­tings by the fol­low­ing steps (as ref­er­ence see the sec­tion Con­fig­ur­ing Boot­ing With­out Open­Core Mount­ed from the man­u­al cit­ed above).

• Use Moun­tE­FI and mount the EFI.
• Use the MacOS's file man­ag­er and nav­i­gate to the mount­ed EFI par­ti­tion.
• Ed­it the file EFI/OC/config.plist – find and mod­i­fy the fol­low­ing <string> di­rec­tive, note on­ly one res­o­lu­tion will be ac­cept­ed and the fall­back res­o­lu­tion is 1280x800@32:

  <key>Resolution</key>
  <string>1920x1080@32</string>
  

  <string>1280x960@32</string>
  

  <string>1280x960@16</string>
  

Us­ing oth­er Dis­play adapter types as "Stan­dard VGA" and "Vir­GL GPU" will al­low you to change the res­o­lu­tion from the Ma­cOS guest it­self, but the Spice con­nec­tion is much bet­ter than the VNC con­nec­tion that you can use with these de­vices. Us­ing these de­vices could be help­ful if you us­ing Team View­er as client.

Cur­rent­ly I couldn't able to set­up any au­dio de­vice for my Ma­cOS guest, but I need at least dum­my sound be­cause oth­er­wise flash videos and HTML5 videos fails in Sa­fari and I'm ac­tu­al­ly do­ing this set­up for brows­er com­pat­i­bil­i­ty tests of a web page. So the workarounds I've found are the fol­low­ing:

• Use Team View­er: In­stall team Team View­er Host ap­pli­ca­tion (or the full ap­pli­ca­tion) it will set an Ag­gre­gate au­dio de­vice. Set­up the ap­pli­ca­tion to ac­cept di­rect LAN con­nec­tions and use Team View­er to con­nect to the guest via its IP. In this case you should re­move any sound de­vices form the Proxmox's VM con­fig­u­ra­tion, or if you have a sound de­vice de­vice it shouldn't use the Spice dri­ver, oth­er­wise no sound will come from Team View­er.
• Use Spice client: With­in the Spice client at­tach some USB au­dio de­vice – i.e. Blue­tooth adapter and con­nect Head­phones to that de­vice from the guest Ma­cOS. In this case you should cre­ate enough num­ber of USB de­vices which use Spice dri­ver with­in the Proxmox's VM con­fig­u­ra­tion. Al­so of course you should use SPICE/QXL as Dis­play adapter.

You can change the OpenCore's boot menu Pick­er op­tions, via config.plist file in the fol­low­ing way:

• Use Moun­tE­FI and mount the EFI.
• Use the MacOS's file man­ag­er and nav­i­gate to the mount­ed EFI par­ti­tion.
• Ed­it the file EFI/OC/config.plist and mod­i­fy the fol­low­ing di­rec­tives:

  <key>ShowPicker</key>
  <true/>                <!-- Set this to 'false' if you want to disable the picker -->
  <key>Timeout</key>
  <integer>5</integer>   <!-- 0 will disable the timeout, currently it is 5 seconds -->
