I was not able to get a persistent Sonoma container can anyone that have been able to achieve this guide me?
here is my approach according to docs, I might be wrong!

# get a fresh container

# setup my appleid and install x-code
423  sudo  docker run -it     --device /dev/kvm     -p 50922:10022     -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix     -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}"     -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true     -e CPU='Haswell-noTSX'     -e CPUID_FLAGS='kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'     -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom-sonoma.plist'     sickcodes/docker-osx:sonoma

# successfully logged in into sonoma and everything seems to be working fine
# setup homebrew and xcode
# install nodejs
# shutdown container
# find a +10g image named "mac_hdd_ng.img" in docker folder and copy it to another place
 sudo find ~/disk/docker/ -name mac_hdd_ng.img -size +10G

 sudo cp /home/user/disk/docker/overlay2/e00e5cc77bbf0a3a58ca66712f1e8de24c0e018c42ec93ec48394615262f8167/diff/home/arch/OSX-KVM/mac_hdd_ng.img ~/disk

# try to run the container with the disk
sudo docker run -it     --device /dev/kvm     -p 50922:10022     -v "/home/user/disk/mac_hdd_ng.img:/image"     -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix     -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}"     -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true     -e MASTER_PLIST_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/master/custom/config-nopicker-custom.plist     sickcodes/docker-osx:naked

And I get into an endless boot-loop, boot picker and an apple support screen with not-allowed (🚫) icon!

note: everything is fine until i try to persist the state of container

ok i've got this working by committing the Sonoma container first then use the image from committed container! yet still ssh and no-picker options for naked-auto are still nonfunctional

The auto is for an image that I previously created by hand. I will make some changes to the readme this week once the DMCA issue is resolved (has been on my end).
