virtually.sh

Small bash script for lauching virtual MacOS instance using Tart.

Usage

echo "Hello, World!" | ./virtually.sh

./virtually.sh < my-script.sh

How it works

Clones an existing VM, boots it, SSH, performs command, shuts down, deletes clone.

Setup VM

Make user admin able to sudo without password. Add SSH key to authorized_keys.

virtually.sh

#!env bash

VM_ORIGIN=$1

if [ -z "${VM_ORIGIN}" ]; then
  VM_ORIGIN="macos-sequoia-xcode"
fi

if ! tart get ${VM_ORIGIN} 2>&1 > /dev/null; then
  echo "Not found: ${VM_ORIGIN}"
  exit 1
fi

VM_NAME="${VM_ORIGIN}-$(cat /dev/urandom | LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 50 | head -n 1)"

tart clone macos-sequoia-xcode ${VM_NAME}
tart run ${VM_NAME} --no-graphics 2>&1 > /dev/null &

PID=$(echo $!)

while ! tart ip ${VM_NAME} &> /dev/null; do
  sleep 1
done

IP=$(tart ip ${VM_NAME})

while ! ping -t 1 -c 1 ${IP} &> /dev/null; do
  sleep 1
done

ssh -o LogLevel=ERROR -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@${IP}
CODE=$?

ssh -o LogLevel=ERROR -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@${IP} -t "sudo shutdown -h now" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

wait ${PID}

tart delete ${VM_NAME}

exit ${CODE}
