Overview
Description

dockur/windows runs a full Windows desktop inside a Docker container, using KVM acceleration on a Linux host. It automates the Windows installation and exposes the running desktop through a browser-based viewer on port 8006 or any RDP client, with USB passthrough and configurable CPU, RAM, and disk. It needs Docker or Podman on a Linux host with /dev/kvm available - Docker Desktop on macOS or Windows does not provide KVM access to containers and is not supported.

Docker-OSX is a software that allows users to run macOS VM in a Docker container. It enables near-native OSX-KVM in Docker and provides X11 Forwarding for seamless integration. The software is ideal for CI/CD for OS X Security Research and Docker mac Containers.
