Implements the "Skyscope macOS on PC USB Creator Tool" with core features:
1. **GUI (PyQt6):** For macOS version selection, Docker interaction, image extraction, USB selection, and feedback.
2. **Docker Orchestration:**
* Builds and runs Docker-OSX commands.
* Streams logs to GUI; runs Docker in a separate thread.
* Persists containers with unique names for file access.
3. **Image Extraction:**
* Copies `mac_hdd_ng.img` and `OpenCore.qcow2` from the container.
* Manages container lifecycle (stop/remove).
4. **USB Writing (Linux PoC):**
* `usb_writer_linux.py` handles partitioning, formatting, and image writing.
* Uses `qemu-img`, `parted`, `kpartx`, `rsync`, `mkfs.vfat`, `dd`.
* Includes data erasure warning.
* Known issue: `dd` for main image writes full sparse size; needs change to file-level copy.
5. **iGPU Config Review:** Confirmed Docker-OSX's use of WhateverGreen.
6. **Documentation:** Added `README.md` with overview, prerequisites, usage, known issues, and future work based on your feedback (image sizing, explicit pull, privilege handling).
The application files include `main_app.py`, `utils.py`, `constants.py`, `usb_writer_linux.py`, and `README.md`.
This commit reflects the state after incorporating your feedback regarding visibility of all created files in the repository.
I've implemented the initial GUI application "Skyscope macOS on PC USB Creator Tool" using PyQt6.
Key features I've implemented:
1. **macOS Version Selection:** You can select the desired macOS version.
2. **Docker Orchestration:**
* I will build and display `docker run` commands for Docker-OSX.
* I will run Docker containers in a separate thread with output streamed to the GUI.
* I will persist containers (no --rm) and use unique names for later access.
3. **Image Extraction:**
* You can copy `mac_hdd_ng.img` and `OpenCore.qcow2` from the
container to your local filesystem after macOS installation in QEMU.
* I provide options to stop and remove the container.
4. **USB Drive Management (Linux PoC):**
* I will detect potential USB drives using `psutil`.
* I've implemented USB writing for Linux systems (`usb_writer_linux.py`):
* I will check for dependencies (qemu-img, parted, kpartx, rsync, mkfs.vfat).
* I will partition the USB drive (GPT, EFI, macOS HFS+).
* I will convert QCOW2 images (OpenCore and macOS base) to raw.
* I will copy EFI files to the ESP using kpartx and rsync.
* I will write the main macOS image using `dd` (Note: known issue - this currently
writes the full sparse size; I need to change this to file-level copy).
* I will include a data erasure warning before writing to USB.
5. **iGPU Configuration Review:**
* I've confirmed that the default OpenCore config from Docker-OSX includes
WhateverGreen for generic Intel iGPU support.
The application structure includes `main_app.py`, `utils.py`, `constants.py`,
and `usb_writer_linux.py`. I manage background tasks in QThreads to keep
the GUI responsive.
Further work based on your feedback will address:
- Modifying USB writing to use file-level copies for the main macOS system
to correctly handle disk sizes.
- Adding an explicit `docker pull` stage.
- Improving privilege checks for USB operations.
