What's the plan for MacOS?

What's the plan for MacOS? I got this running nicely on my Dell XPS with Ubuntu 16.04, but I guess it's back to VMs and Vagrant for Macs?

[vincent99]

You can dress it up and try to hide it like Docker but there is no alternative to VMs on a Mac...

[alexellis]

I agree, Linux is needed. Most folks I guess have Docker Desktop and you'd need to get them off that or have 2x VMs.

So no workaround for mac ?

[alexellis]

Best option for Mac (to test k3c today) is probably to use https://multipass.run

I was about to suggest multipass myself.

[deepforu47]

Thank you, I already tried with multipass :)!

If k3c lives beyond the experimental stage, one approach maybe to take a hint from Docker on Mac and have k3c daemon use hyperkit to run a minimal k3c daemon image that the rest of k3c uses when running on macos, thoughts?

[rcarmo]

You can run it inside Multipass without any issues (that uses HyperKit).

[zimme]

I'm aware of that. I'm just thinking about ideas to get k3c running as natively as possible on macos without having to install other dependencies
