Is it possible to automate the macOS installation within Dockerfile so that users can use macOS immediately? After downloading Docker Image and running docker-compose, it took an hour to install macOS on the virtual disk. I think this installation process could be improved. Distributing the disk with macOS installed can save hundreds and thousands of users time. Is there any way to automate installation GUI? For example, a software script similar to AutoHotKey?
