## macOS VM guide

This virtual machine is running as a [systemd](https://systemd.io/) service and by default it's not started so to use it you'll need to execute the following command on every new computer boot:

```sh
# Initializes VM process.
$ sudo systemctl start macos-ventura.service
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The VNC connection values used below depends on your [macOS Ventura VM definitions](./system/modules/vm/macos-ventura.nix) and the default VNC configurations of [this module](https://github.com/MatthewCroughan/NixThePlanet/blob/master/makeDarwinImage/module.nix).
After that command the qemu VM will be running in background and you will need a [VNC client](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC) to connect to it.
By default **TigerVNC Viewer** is installed, in this case the URL to perform a connection with the server might be `localhost:5900`.
