Okay reporting my progress on thisā€¦

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 pathā€¦

  1. Build arm64 image via x86_64 machine, export, and try to run on vbox mac (i think this is very slow for iteration)
  2. 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)
  3. Abandon vbox and repurpose build script for UTM (known possible)
  4. Abandon docker and rework derivative maker to run locally on macā€¦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 oneā€¦apologies

In the meanwhile, i am proceeding with option 3 since I am making progress

@Patrick here are the logs from my failure building UTM image via docker with mac m chip

Fast iteration is important. If possible and reasonable somehow, native builds should be supported.

That might be very difficult.

VirtualBox is preferable. Thatā€™s where most of my development experience and focus is.

Dunno if this is possible at all.

Possible to run a Debian chroot on Mac?

46

For posterity, new plan (thanks to Patrickā€™s help):

Build raw image (--target raw) via container. Then convert image to vbox on apple host

Just gotta get the grub script stuff sorted out

GRUB issues should be resolved.

Updates on thisā€¦

I was able to build raw ARM64 whonix CLI images successfuly on ARM64 debian. I moved these images to an apple silicon mac

I was able to manually get vbox whonix working on apple, but it required a good bit of tweaking with virtualbox

Currently, i am working on getting derivative maker to run on mac, to reuse buildstep 4600_create_vbox_vm but it is quite unpleasant due to lots of unset variables, terminal incongruencies (mac uses bsd utils not gnu), and other stuff.

I might make a standalone script, for iteration purposes. Repurposing dm on mac is laborious

If I want to hack on gettiing M1 working should I start at head? Last changelog bump? Last posted point version? The last ā€œstableā€ is far enough back that it does not seem useful.

Iā€™m starting to get a sense of where M1 development is. Iā€™m new here so I canā€™t DM. @Mycobee Is there a branch youā€™re working on? How can I help?

I wouldnā€™t mind getting something running on UTM so I can at least see what it looks like but if itā€™s possible to get it running on VirtualBox and thatā€™s where development is goiing Iā€™m fine with that too.

High level instructions of what I did for apple silicon build

  1. Download Debian arm64 iso netinstall from Debian
  2. Launch a debian VM on virtualbox
  3. Run derivative maker for --target raw in said VM
  4. SCP raw images from debian VM to macbook
  5. Convert raw images to ova with VBoxManage
  6. Do shenanigans to get the ova to run properly (storage settings, efi boot, vram, etc)

Im working on automating this with a script. Should be done in a week or soā€¦

Just use the latest point release tag to build your arm64 raw images its fine

53

Its not a particularly complicated process, but it is a bit laborious. Certain things like sata connector in vbox are not good for armā€¦best bet is to use VBoxManage to show info for your arm64 debian build. Then try to apply similar settings to your derivative build

I recommend starting with kicksecure, then doing whonix after you got that dialed. Please document your findings so we can all move this along more quickly

Am I going to end up duplicating your work or is there value to doing it in parallel?

55

The main VBox settings i remember be annoying to figure out

  • using the virtualized storage adapter instead of sata. Emulate what debian uses
  • getting efi boot order correct, from hard disk
  • not enough vram
  • some stuff with graphics acceleration

But im not on my laptop at the moment and might be forgetting some things. And of course with whonix the networking will be a thing

I dont have a working build script yet to turn raw builds in to working apple silicon vbox vms

Theres value to working in parallel if you can get clear documentation of what you did manually. Theres also value if you can get the steps laid out for the whonix settings between the workstation and gateway

I dont see much value in creating a scriptā€¦that would be duplication, but for me having the framework of steps would be niceā€¦in case i miss things or am doing unnecessary things

Running some builds to see what happens.

Make sure to allocate enough storage. I did --size 5G on a 20gb debian cli vmā€¦if your raw images are too big the build will crash during grml debootstrap

Dont bother trying to get derivative maker to run in a mac shell. Its a pain. Just focus on getting the raw images from a debian build and move those raw images to the mac.

Too much bsd / gnu stuffā€¦apt things, etc. Its annoying, a waste of time, and unnecessary since vbox is installed anyway

Yeahā€¦ it seems generally saner to keep as much of the toolchain inside Debian as possible since thatā€™s where most of the work is done. I feel less sure about VirtualBox vs UTM because UTM is cleaner on macOS but if VirtualBox works thatā€™s better.
