Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/400

I have startup osx on win10 and wsl2(ubuntu subsystem), but after i run the docker command, like docker run .... sickcodes/docker-osx:latest, the x11 server got the gui output and showed in a window, after compiling, i could enter the boot menu, but usually, i got stuck and could not use mouse or keyboard anymore after i used the disk utility to erase a disk or i clicked the reinstall the mac os. Did it mean that any hardware on my pc could not handle this?

I also have experienced this, it's due to low ram

-e RAM=5

I haven't experience this situation.
I've used WSLg and it work great but not perfect, here a problem with WSLg
You can also use vnc to bypass this problem, just use -vnc :0 and connect via VNC Client

just as sickcodes says, allocate more ram while start your container.

I also have experienced this, it's due to low ram

-e RAM=5
thanks, it works.

thank you, is that mean i can use the following command and use vnc to connect it? @MikeCoder96

docker run -i \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -p 5999:5999 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    -e EXTRA="-display none -vnc 0.0.0.0:99,password=on" \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur

@chengjiaozyl yes, it will work with vnc client.
I will put an .sh file to start docker-OSX with VNC Server and make pull request.

Type device_add usb-mouse currently is the solution
