This is not "running macOS VMs in Docker".

This is "running debian noVNC clients in Docker that connect to the same macOS host system".

I mean it's great that you use the Apple Virtualization Framework for that on the host service, but that's a different type of VM than a docker VM which would assume syscalls to be abstracted inside the docker container and not on a host service.

But yeah, just my two cents, I guess.

You're totally right, we're not claiming to run macOS inside Docker. The actual VMs run on the macOS host via the Apple Virtualization.Framework; Docker is just the management and packaging layer, similar to how some KVM setups use Docker to orchestrate VMs on Linux.

The title could’ve been clearer, but it’s already out there and can’t be edited - appreciate you pointing it out and adding the nuance!
