|
### Where are the VMs stored?
|
|
|
|
VMs are stored in `~/.lume`.
|
|
|
|
### How are images cached?
|
|
|
|
Images are cached in `~/.lume/cache`. When doing `lume pull <image>`, it will check if the image is already cached. If not, it will download the image and cache it, removing any older versions.
|
|
|
|
### Are VM disks taking up all the disk space?
|
|
|
|
No, macOS uses sparse files, which only allocate space as needed. For example, VM disks totaling 50 GB may only use 20 GB on disk.
|
|
|
|
### How do I get the latest macOS restore image URL?
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lume ipsw
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How do I delete a VM?
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lume delete <name>
|
|
```

### How to Install macOS from an IPSW Image
|
|
|
|
#### Create a new macOS VM using the latest supported IPSW image:
|
|
Run the following command to create a new macOS virtual machine using the latest available IPSW image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lume create <name> --os macos --ipsw latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Create a new macOS VM using a specific IPSW image:
|
|
To create a macOS virtual machine from an older or specific IPSW file, first download the desired IPSW (UniversalMac) from a trusted source.
|
|
|
|
Then, use the downloaded IPSW path:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lume create <name> --os macos --ipsw <downloaded_ipsw_path>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How do I install a custom Linux image?
|
|
|
|
The process for creating a custom Linux image differs than macOS, with IPSW restore files not being used. You need to create a linux VM first, then mount a setup image file to the VM for the first boot.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lume create <name> --os linux
|
|
|
|
lume run <name> --mount <path-to-setup-image>
|
|
|
|
lume run <name>
|
|
```
