Currently I can start the docker by:

docker run -it \
    --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

And there's a (qemu) in the end of the terminal, I can access it by "vnc://192.168.86.2:5999". After configuring the mac OS, and I type "ctrl+c" to exit the (qemu), nothing in the docker ps anymore:(

I want to make this macOS in background, from my understanding, we can use docker run --detach to make a container run in background. But I can't find anything related to this in README.
