RktMachine is a macOS menu bar app providing a CoreOS VM using HyperKit and the

macOS Hypervisor. It supports developer workflows using the [rkt] container

system.



[rkt]: https://coreos.com/rkt



It can be used to control system dependencies for a project, to provide a

container based environment with necessary dependencies for building and

running software under development, or to try out new tools and services

quickly.



RktMachine is a combination of [coreos-osx] and [corectl.app], two macOS menu

bar apps from [TheNewNormal] using their [corectl] CoreOS VM management tool.

The apps have been integrated into one and a number of choices made to reduce

configurability. See [TheNewNormal] GitHub project for more advanced macOS

tools supporting Kubernetes.

Detailed documentation is provided in the [docs] directories and at

Installing

----------

To install RktMachine, download a dmg from [releases], open it and copy the

RktMachine.app binary to your `/Applications` folder.



[releases]: https://github.com/woofwoofinc/rktmachine/releases



Usage

-----

The app will prompt for your user password in order to start the `corectl`

service as `root`.

On start, the app will boot the existing CoreOS VM if available or attempt to

create and boot a new CoreOS VM. The VM can be managed from the menu bar icon,

a dog silhouette.



SSH to the CoreOS VM is also available from this menu. The current user home

directory is mounted from the host macOS onto the CoreOS VM at the same

location, e.g. /Users/.

Developing

----------

The RktMachine application is built using Xcode. To run a development build,

start by opening the RktMachine project file in Xcode.



Then make sure you are not already running RktMachine and use the

`Product -> Run` menu option or the play button in the top left to build and

run the source code.



There is lots more documentation about building RktMachine in the [docs]

directories and at [woofwoofinc.github.io/rktmachine].
