Hey,
in readme you are writing:

The images (excluding :naked) launch a container with an existing installation with a couple of premade configurations:

But if I launch for example the following container:

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur

It launches into recovery and wants to (re)install OSX. Should it not start directly into OSX?

Did I do something wrong? Or did I missunderstand something?

I can provide logs and screenshots if necessary.

Thanks and best regards,
Dominic

Yeah that's wrong, I'll fix it.

Only :auto is a fully installed system
