The germ of this idea came about, as all good ideas, and germs, do: while drinking beer.

Intrigued, I asked Gil to email me the specifics. After seeing how potentially cool this was, I wrapped it up in this here terribly illegible, queasingly unpythonic script.

Usage
Creating a VM
Forgot password to encrypted dmg. Running
vfuse
does not necessarily require sudo rights, but if you don't want to be prompted in the GUI for an admin password, run it with sudo
. (Escalated privileges is required to run the vmware-vdiskmanager
binary, which vfuse
uses.)The only required argument is
-i
aka --input
. Run thusly, it will create a vm called macos-vm.vmwarevm
in the current working directory:See the wiki for more on how to use

Caveats
vfuse
is meant to be used with never-booted disk images created with AutoDMG. Using vfuse
with a dmg created with Disk Utility is not something that has been tested, so you're on your own there. Likely, it's even more of a longshot with APFS.Transformer Un Fichier Iso En Dmg
