Okay reporting my progress on this…
Currently, have derivative maker successfully installed and running in a docker container. I have a draft PR here
I have come to a crossroads
There is no arm64 virtualbox available for linux, only apple. So I must choose a path…
- Build arm64 image via x86_64 machine, export, and try to run on vbox mac (i think this is very slow for iteration)
- Try to convert vbox mac dmg file to linux img file, see what happens and if possible to run the CLI on arm64 linux (seems hacky, slightly unhinged, and potential waste of time lol)
- Abandon vbox and repurpose build script for UTM (known possible)
- Abandon docker and rework derivative maker to run locally on mac…this is likely a large undertaking, given the apt dependencies, systemctl services, etc.
Opinions @Patrick? There may be other clever options i am not considering
Edit: i see now there are two threads, and this should be in the development one…apologies
In the meanwhile, i am proceeding with option 3 since I am making progress
