First, SSH into your Proxmox server so we can make some edits to the configuration files.Д®dit /etc/pve/qemu-server/nf (with nano or vim). In the Hardware page for the VM, add a second DVD drive at IDE0, set it to use your Catalina-installer.iso.ДonвЂ™t try to start the VM just yet. In the Options page for the VM, ensure that вЂњuse tablet for pointerвЂќ is set to вЂњYesвЂќ.

Choose VMWare vmxnet3 for the network model.

#Osx catalina driver#

Disable ballooning because there is no balloon driver available for macOS.

Set the number of cores for the VM, use a power of two (e.g.

Enable discard and SSD emulation to support TRIM.

Set the size of the hard disk (I chose 64GB).

On Proxmox 7 you must untick вЂњpre-enroll keysвЂќ

Set graphics to вЂњVMWare CompatibleвЂќ, set BIOS to OVMF (UEFI), set Machine to Q35, Tick Add EFI Disk and pick storage for it.

Select the OpenCore ISO you uploaded and set OS type to вЂњOtherвЂќ.

Make a note of it.Д®very Mac uses the same OSK, so donвЂ™t be surprised that it doesnвЂ™t look like a random string! Create the VMДЇrom the Proxmox web UI, create a new virtual machine as shown below. ItвЂ™ll print out the 64 character OSK for you. Gcc -o smc_read smc_read.c -framework IOKit In a command prompt, change into the same directory as that file and run: xcode-select -install # If you don't already have gcc

#Osx catalina code#

Save the first block of C code from this page as smc_read.c. You can get around this by reading anВ authentication key out of your real Mac hardware (the OSK key). MacOS checks that it is running on real Mac hardware, and refuses to boot on third-party hardware. iso file extension, this is actually a hard disk image. This has several improvements over my old Clover-based tutorial, like fixes to screen resolution problems, better CPU feature support, and better FileVault compatibility, and is recommended for all future builds.Дownload the latest release from my repository, unpack it, and upload it to ProxmoxвЂ™s ISO store at /var/lib/vz/template/iso. WeвЂ™ll be using OpenCore as a bootloader for Catalina. Building the offline installer requires you to have a Mac, here are the instructions. If you wonвЂ™t have an Internet connection available to Catalina during installation, or your network canвЂ™t provide an IP address by DHCP youвЂ™ll need to build an offline installer instead. Upload the вЂњISOвЂќ to your Proxmox serverвЂ™s ISO store (typically /var/lib/vz/template/iso). The result is actually a raw disk image, not a true ISO, but Proxmox has better tools for picking and re-using ISO images than disk images. Qemu-img convert BaseSystem.dmg -O raw Catalina-installer.iso # Or use qemu-img from the qemu-utils package to do it instead:

#Osx catalina install#

Or like so if youвЂ™re building this on Linux: # Install the dmg2img package and.Дmg2img BaseSystem.dmg Catalina-installer.iso Convert that dmg into an вЂњisoвЂќ like so if youвЂ™re building this on macOS: hdiutil convert BaseSystem.dmg -format UDRW -o Catalina-installer.iso This results in a ~500MB вЂњBaseSystem.dmgвЂќ file in the current directory.

#Osx catalina software#

Download and run fetch-macOS.py in a terminal to download the Catalina recovery image from the Apple software distribution server (this can be run on Linux, Proxmox, or on a Mac): The easiest installer to build is a recovery image, which will download Catalina during installation. Modern AMD CPUs also support SSE 4.2 and will work with this guide. Older CPUs will cause the finder to repeatedly crash after installation completes (with an Illegal Instruction exception in the graphics code). Your Proxmox host computerвЂ™s CPU must support SSE 4.2, so for Intel your CPU must be at least as new as Nehalem, which was the first CPU generation to bear the вЂњCoreвЂќ i5/i7 branding. You also need a real Mac available in order to fetch the OSK key. IвЂ™ll assume you already have Proxmox 6.1 or 6.2В installed. If youвЂ™d like to use Clover instead, use my older tutorial, but OpenCore works better! Requirements

You can get the full sourcecode on my GitHub here. This tutorial for installing macOS Catalina using OpenCore has been adapted for Proxmox from KholiaвЂ™s OSX-KVM project and LeoyzenвЂ™s OpenCore configuration for KVM. MacOS 11 Big Sur has now been released! If youвЂ™d like that version instead then please use my new Big Sur installation guide!
