In answer to my own question: no, xhyve is just another way to run a VM on macOS. I looked around for a way to run your containers as they are, but I didn’t find anything. I tried to import lilydev-debian-0.2 into Docker, but I gave up when I found no /bin/bash to run in the container. I believe I could have imported and used your full VM image, but I wasn’t very interested because it includes stuff I don’t really need (like a GUI). Instead, after a small amount of work, and relying heavily on the list of packages in your mkosi.debian, I succeeded in creating a Docker image based on Ubuntu 16.04 and then using that to build lilypond, the regression tests, and the English language docs. So far, I see some advantages of Docker over VirtualBox. For one thing, the clock appears to stay in sync after the host sleeps and wakes. I intend to use Docker for a while to see what happens. If the kernel panics only half as often as under VirtualBox, I’ll be a happy man. — Dan _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
