Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/602

When building an image with https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/blob/master/vnc-version/Dockerfile.nakedvnc, I am unable to get it to generate specific serials/UUIDs passed in via the environment.

version: "3"

services:
  main:
    restart: unless-stopped
    devices:
      - /dev/kvm
    volumes:
      - /opt/docker/macvm/mac_hdd_ng_auto.img:/image
    image: docker-osx:nakedvnc
    ports:
      - 50922:10022
      - 5998:5999
    environment:
      - GENERATE_SPECIFIC=true
      - WIDTH=1600
      - HEIGHT=900
      - RAM=6

In my .env I have:

DEVICE_MODEL="MacBookPro9,1"
SERIAL=*********
BOARD_SERIAL=*****************
UUID=********-****-****-****-************
MAC_ADDRESS=**:**:**:**:**:**

But when I boot the machine, it is using the default serials and UUIDs. I think the problem is because the Dockerfile has two CMD instructions and only the second one is being executed (per Docker docs).

How can this Dockerfile be reworked to allow GENERATE_SPECIFIC to be honored?

Yeah someone else created that file. I'll bring it in line with the others

Mike, where you able to get your serials to be passed through? I believe I am having the same issue as you. I'll take a stab at fixing the nakedvnc Dockerfile if its still broken.

I had no luck with changing the nakedvnc docker file. I built my own copy of docker-osx:latest with my personal serials hard coded in, then built the nakedvnc container with the base image set to my own.
