Don't Apple EULAs forbid emulating OSX on non-Apple hardware? I might be mistaken, of course, but I think I recall something like that.

Just came from the Signal disappearing messages thread. This blog post too seems to have disappeared...

Not sure why it isn't working for you, but here's a snapshot of the page: http://archive.is/5Hrgu

Can hosting these images get you sued?

Hmmm. It does load now. I was previously getting the "blog article you are looking for does not exist" screen. Thanks.

The post is down (or gone) for me too now. It's not listed in the blog archives in the sidebar, either.

While I like this idea a lot, the gist of this is somehow https://atlas.hashicorp.com/AndrewDryga/boxes/vagrant-box-os... hasn't been DMCA'd yet.

You also have no idea how http://files.dryga.com/boxes/osx-mavericks-0.1.0.box was built (which is my main bugbear with Docker and Vagrant images), which kext hacks were used, whether the image has been tampered with etc etc.

Edit: okay, this was a bit harsh. It looks like the creator of the images only uses them on a Mac OS host - so no kext hacks needed like if you were building a Hackintosh. I'd still rather a script of some kind that took a dmg installer and built this image. It looks like https://github.com/radeksimko/vagrant-osx will do something like that - linked from Andrew's repo, so thanks!

Doesn't look like hosting it alone would. In the readme, there's a section about licensing:

"Apple's EULA states that you can install your copy on your actual Apple-hardware, plus up to two VMs running on your Apple-hardware. So using this box on another hardware is may be illegal and you should do it on your own risk."
