Austin, thank you. I have run this process a few times now, however, your 'off the cuff' comment about "if your boot gets stuck here, it is your OSK, ask me how I know" pointed me in the right direction, removed the spaces from the OSK and I now have a working MacOS Monterey on Proxmox 7.2.
Okay.. dumb question alert.. how do I stop using Big Sur through the console and actually use it on the physical computer where I installed it? Works great.. on my other machine where I'm viewing it via console. Thanks!

HI , thanks for your video,thats really informative. but for a noob like me this video is really complicated. is it possible to make a simplified version?
Sorry that isn't really possible. I didn't skip any steps. This is as simple as it gets. Running Mac software on non-Apple hardware is a complicated subject.
I've got the ProxMox set up on its own machine, but have been very unsuccessful at setting up any VMs. I'm doing the install from a mid-2011 3.4 GHz i7 iMac 27 running High Sierra 10.13.6. When running the 'make Monterey-recovery.img' or 'make Monterey-full.img' the process fails with the following message (only text within apostrophes): 'env: python3: No such file or directory' 'make: *** [BaseSystem.dmg] Error 127' Any thoughts on how to proceed?
I had the same error. Did you clone the repository through the WSL? If you did it through the windows terminal itself, i think something about the permissions is messed up. Cloning through WSL resolved the issue. (I found this by going into the folder and typing ls, if only one file shows up, something is wrong) Let me know if this helped!
Hi thank you so much for this tutorial, i have an amd ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram, and a rtx 2060, will it work for newer versions of macOS? i would like to upload apps to the appstore?
I have no tried updating but it should be possible. The best part of it being a VM is you can backup and easily restore if something goes wrong. Your Nvidia card won't work unless you use an older version of MacOS (High Sierra I believe was the last to support Nvidia).
I tried expanding the first drive which has worked for Windows/Linux multiple times but was unsuccessful. I figured re-creating the VM was a perfect opportunity to do the screen capture and only ~30m.
hi! I'm following your guide and the thing is a couple months ago it worked flawlesly. However i'm trying to do it right now on a new machine and i keep getting the following error during the mac os installation.

@@austinsnerdythings2542 Can you please specify where exactly is Nick explaining how to pass through a GPU in his blog? I can't find this info. He says in his blog: I don’t have a tutorial for that one.
Correct, there is not a step-by-step tutorial. His setup is here www.nicksherlock.com/2018/11/my-macos-vm-proxmox-setup/. There are many other guides showing GPU passthrough tutorial.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 actually I know how to passthrough my RX580 GPU. I already passed it through to a Window 11 VM. And it works perfectly. When I remove the GPU from the Windows VM and add it to the Monterey VM it does not see it, and the VM appears in the VNC console as if there was no passthrough
Google "BUILDING A 2U AMD RYZEN SERVER (PROXMOX GPU PASSTHROUGH / OBS OR XSPLIT IN VM)" - that is a good guide how to do it - remember the GPU must be supported by the guest OS - in case of MacOS this means mostly AMD or legacy NVIDIA (i.e. like GT 710)
@@Zxies2001 Radeon RX570 ist supported by MacOS since Sierra 10.12.6. i5 3570 should work - I would try it with 2-cores for the VM first.

With this combo ist isn't actually a single GPU-Passthrough strictly speaking - since you have an iGPU...;-)

@@austinsnerdythings2542 At least if somebody has got same issue, at least can read this :) I chased up a full ISO, and installed with that, but I had to start the installer manually from EFI Shell. Rest went well. :)
Some NVIDIAs are actually supported by Mac OS, although limited by the version of the Mac OS (such as High Sierra). But ultimately yes, RTX cards are unsupported.
I want to use checkra1n will usb work. Installed Macos Catalina using sosumi but usb is not working iphone is not detected by checkra1n even pendrive is not showing in virtual mac . Will this tutorial support usb
I do not know what checkra1n or sosumi are. I have successfully passed through USB devices (including my iPhone 7 & iPhone 11) without issue using the exact steps I showed in the video.
I have an RTX 3080 and judging from various resources + some of these comments, GPU passthrough is not supported. (very new to all this so my very basic understanding of this is that the VM will not be able to use my GPU's resources). My question is, what are the implications of a lack of passthrough? What issues can i expect to face supposing I install MacOS using this method? (will I not be able to run certain programs? Will I experience crashes? etc.)
Sorry for the late reply. Your GPU is not supported by any recent MacOS versions. Everything will run fine, but maybe a bit sluggish due to lack of hardware graphical acceleration.
I am not 100% sure what you need to do to get iMessage going. I just know that the VM, as set up in the video, is not recommended to connect to your iCloud
You need to create a unique macserial and check it before connecting to your Apple-ID! Follow the OpenCore Guide for this! After these percautions it should be safe.
I had the same error. Did you clone the repository through the WSL? If you did it through the windows terminal itself, i think something about the permissions is messed up.

Hi, im just a beginner to hackintosh, my main concern is that im purchasing GT1030 4Gb graphics card, I want to know if this GPU is supported cos i want to use dual monitor setup as well and it just has 1X HDMI and 1X VGA(Curious if this method doesn't have the VGA problem)
Only one doubt - is Mac osk really needed and will it harm if i use someone's Mac to do this??? If something happens to that person's Mac??? Proxmox is really promising.... Please guide me in that osk regard....
You can get the OSK from any Mac. It is not unique - it is a phrase, and it is the same on every Mac. Nothing will happen to the computer you get it from.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 definitely keep looking online you should be able to find something because I was told it does not matter your GPU everything can work like a native Mac, even if you have to manually look for the Kexts yourself to install
Yes - it will work on any CPU that supports virtualization - but a i3 only has 4 cores and the MSI moren AFAIK only 8GB - you want more RAM, more core and preferably a supported GPU - but it will run albeit abit on the slower side...
Question on Memory allocated. You said 16GB because your machine has more than 16GB? Asking because my machine has 16GB, and wondering if I should give say 12GB in case I need to leave 4GB for Proxmox? Or can I also say 16GB?
If this VM is the only one on your Proxmox host I would say yes, you can allocate 12 of 16GB. My Proxmox host has 96GB available which is why I can do 16 without issue. Monterey works fine with 8.
To be expected. I said you need to change quite a few other settings in the video in the iMessage warning portion ua-cam.com/video/HBAPscDD30M/v-deo.html. That part of the video will redirect you to dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html
well, i intend to install montrey on my windows laptop....so why do i need actual mac to make osk key..... and what if there is NO actual mac, then should i & other users understand that it is impossible to install montrey via proxmox just becoz a person has no actual mac.....crazy if i did have a mac then why all the above botheration.... then what ??
It is a licensing issue. You can find the key on the internet (I did, and Apple messed up and put it a court filing - it isn't too hard to find). It's the same for every Mac. The MacOS license states that you shall not use it except on legit Apple hardware. If you aren't worried about that, then you should have no problems. You won't be able to install it on your Windows laptop, unless you have Proxmox running virtualized on top of Windows via Hyper-V/VirtualBox and plan to virtualize MacOS within that (double nested virtualization). I don't recommend that - it'll be very slow.
First time trying this, I followed every step and everything looked on check. However, when boot the VM, I saw the the recovery disk on Open core, clicked on it and the Apple logo came out, but it got stuck there. The progress bar didn't move at all or took me to the disk utility page. What could be wrong? BTW thanks so much for the tutorial, it's spot on!
You probably did not enter and save the OSK key correctly. It needs to be in the quotations and the key is the same for every Mac device so you can easily find it online.
@@ForsakenClarity Thanks! I double-ttiplef checked it, but I'll check it again. I think, what it is, since it's the only VM I plan to have in that specific machine I tried to give 100%of the storage and ram, not accounting for what Proxmox consumes. I'll make a few adjustments and see What happens.
Sorry for the late reply but did you make sure it's all one line? Copying and pasting it might make a line break so you should use an editor like Notepad++ to be sure

Is it possible to utilize laptops second graphic card, like AMD Radeon HD 8790M using Proxmox? As far as I know, second card - Radeon is not supported in old hackintosh way.
You should be able to pass through any PCI device to your guest VM. I do not know the status of something like a Radeon HD 8790M being supported in current MacOS versions.

I am getting ready to switch over to Proxmox from legacy hackintosh install. I want to test everything out before I purchase new hardware or decommission my current hackintosh. for this reason, I am running Proxmox inside VMware Fusion. I have read this should not be an issue. I have it installed and all went well. I have hypervisor enabled in the VM in case that matters. The tutorial works great for me until I get to the point where I am booting in OpenCore for the first time to install.

Nicholas Sherlock says: June 20, 2022 at 3:45 am There seems to currently be a problem in the data that macOS downloads during installation if you choose the Recovery method for installing Monterey. Installation fails with this message: i.imgur.com/vFlA9DT.png Even using working OpenCore and Recovery images from 6 months ago also replicates the problem, so it has to be an issue with the new data the Recovery is downloading. I’m investigating why that’s happening Actually not resolved investigation in progress
I had a few issues with this install echo "options kvm ignore_msrs=Y" >> /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf && update-initramfs -k all -u did not work. Look it up but I did a install of the file missing I had another issue with that and simply skipped it. I dont know what I am missing or what the command does but it works. Another thing was the internet connection. Go to the set up screen and find the terminal. I used ipconfig set en1 INFORM IP address. Check if your going to be using en0 or en1 though.

Sorry that isn't really possible. I didn't skip any steps. This is as simple as it gets. Running Mac software on non-Apple hardware is a complicated subject.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 i was stucked in OSK and didn't understand that its that simple :P
You used proxmox client on what laptop or server or virtualbox?
I've got the ProxMox set up on its own machine, but have been very unsuccessful at setting up any VMs. I'm doing the install from a mid-2011 3.4 GHz i7 iMac 27 running High Sierra 10.13.6.
When running the 'make Monterey-recovery.img' or 'make Monterey-full.img' the process fails with the following message (only text within apostrophes):
'env: python3: No such file or directory'
'make: *** [BaseSystem.dmg] Error 127'
Any thoughts on how to proceed?
I had the same error. Did you clone the repository through the WSL? If you did it through the windows terminal itself, i think something about the permissions is messed up. Cloning through WSL resolved the issue. (I found this by going into the folder and typing ls, if only one file shows up, something is wrong) Let me know if this helped!
Hi thank you so much for this tutorial, i have an amd ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram, and a rtx 2060, will it work for newer versions of macOS? i would like to upload apps to the appstore?
I have no tried updating but it should be possible. The best part of it being a VM is you can backup and easily restore if something goes wrong. Your Nvidia card won't work unless you use an older version of MacOS (High Sierra I believe was the last to support Nvidia).
@@austinsnerdythings2542 There is no support for RTX but he can use the iGPU, Pascal works on High Sierra GTX 10XX
Could you just create/add a 2nd drive and install xcode on that?
I tried expanding the first drive which has worked for Windows/Linux multiple times but was unsuccessful. I figured re-creating the VM was a perfect opportunity to do the screen capture and only ~30m.
hi! I'm following your guide and the thing is a couple months ago it worked flawlesly. However i'm trying to do it right now on a new machine and i keep getting the following error during the mac os installation. "An Error Occurred While Preparing the Installation" I tried setting the time right and everything, used diferent iso's and diferent versions of opencore and i keep getting this problem. Any idea how to fix it? thank you in advance!
Hello, I have the same error. Do you have found a solution ? Thank you !
I believe there is currently an error on the apple site preventing the recovery download. I'll look into when it will be fixed.

how to pass gpu through ?
Nick Sherlock goes over how to pass through a GPU in his blog post
@@austinsnerdythings2542 Can you please specify where exactly is Nick explaining how to pass through a GPU in his blog? I can't find this info. He says in his blog: I don’t have a tutorial for that one.
Correct, there is not a step-by-step tutorial. His setup is here www.nicksherlock.com/2018/11/my-macos-vm-proxmox-setup/. There are many other guides showing GPU passthrough tutorial.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 actually I know how to passthrough my RX580 GPU. I already passed it through to a Window 11 VM. And it works perfectly. When I remove the GPU from the Windows VM and add it to the Monterey VM it does not see it, and the VM appears in the VNC console as if there was no passthrough
Hi Austin. Great video. Quick question, could I install it in a Ryzen 3950X + RTX3050? Thank you.
Yes you can!
Yes, but you can't passthrough the GPU - as a RTX3050 isn't supported by MacOS - but everything that doesn't need GPU acceleration will run just fine.
can you make a video for single gpu passthrough
Google "BUILDING A 2U AMD RYZEN SERVER (PROXMOX GPU PASSTHROUGH / OBS OR XSPLIT IN VM)" - that is a good guide how to do it - remember the GPU must be supported by the guest OS - in case of MacOS this means mostly AMD or legacy NVIDIA (i.e. like GT 710)
@@m.l.9385 I have i5 3570 and amd rx570 can i download macos and get full performance if yes how?
@@Zxies2001 Radeon RX570 ist supported by MacOS since Sierra 10.12.6. i5 3570 should work - I would try it with 2-cores for the VM first. You need enough RAM though...12 GB in total and 8 GB assigned to the VM should be fine though...
With this combo ist isn't actually a single GPU-Passthrough strictly speaking - since you have an iGPU...;-)
@@m.l.9385thanks for telling me.
Any experience with doing this on a laptop? Would video accel work if installed on an older intel apple supported igpu? If installed on a new gen intel or ryzen laptop would it still work but without video accel? Thanks

i did use this tutorial on deploy catalina upto latest version,but when i decide to install whole new monterey ,i ve met with installer stuck at AppleUSBHostPort::enumerateDeviceComplete_block_invoke: enumerated 0x627/0001/0000 (QEMU USB Tablet）at 480Mbps，any suggestion i could bypass this situation?
To be clear are you trying to upgrade Catalina to Monterey?
I've got an issue with it: "recovery the recovery server could not be contacted"
what could do with this?
How is the VM connected to the internet?
@@austinsnerdythings2542 via proxmox VMbridge. All behind NAT. Rest of VM-s hasn't got issue with networking
@@MrLarryl79 Might've been a temporary issue? No one else has reported any problems with the recovery server. I've never seen the error before

I chased up a full ISO, and installed with that, but I had to start the installer manually from EFI Shell. Rest went well. :)
Will this run smoothly on HP Pavilion gaming laptop with ryzen 7 5th gen and RTX 3050?
Nvidia is unsupported by MacOS so you won't be able to passthrough the GPU but otherwise it should run fine
Some NVIDIAs are actually supported by Mac OS, although limited by the version of the Mac OS (such as High Sierra). But ultimately yes, RTX cards are unsupported.
I want to use checkra1n will usb work. Installed Macos Catalina using sosumi but usb is not working iphone is not detected by checkra1n even pendrive is not showing in virtual mac . Will this tutorial support usb
I do not know what checkra1n or sosumi are. I have successfully passed through USB devices (including my iPhone 7 & iPhone 11) without issue using the exact steps I showed in the video.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 ok will it not work without real mac ? I don't have real mac right now
@@krovvidikrishnaswamy115 Will what not work? Everything should work like a physical Mac if you pass it through correctly.
How difficult will it be to upgrade Hackintosh Sierra (i7/9700) to Hackintosh Monterey using Proxmox?
Thanks for video. It's working) Installed OS now need to find out how to passthrough GPU and setup AppStore.
Can I use the proxmox host physical GPU for the display/monitor?
Of course - but you will either need to control proxmox though the running VM itself or another device....
I have an RTX 3080 and judging from various resources + some of these comments, GPU passthrough is not supported. (very new to all this so my very basic understanding of this is that the VM will not be able to use my GPU's resources).
My question is, what are the implications of a lack of passthrough? What issues can i expect to face supposing I install MacOS using this method? (will I not be able to run certain programs? Will I experience crashes? etc.)
Sorry for the late reply. Your GPU is not supported by any recent MacOS versions. Everything will run fine, but maybe a bit sluggish due to lack of hardware graphical acceleration.
Only complaint is that you go real fast when there's details to enter in
You can slow down with the YT player.. sorry I go fast. I basically only have one speed which is fast.
i didn't expect the osk to be like that
i thought it was a hard to remember numbers
Which gives better performance, Installing with the Opencore method or this method?
This video uses Opencore as the bootloader
Proxmox gives you close to bare metal performance, but makes installing Mac Os much easier.
iMessage and iCloud fix would be dangerous for my iCloud account?
I am not 100% sure what you need to do to get iMessage going. I just know that the VM, as set up in the video, is not recommended to connect to your iCloud
You need to create a unique macserial and check it before connecting to your Apple-ID! Follow the OpenCore Guide for this!
After these percautions it should be safe.
Sir, help me please:
make Monterey-recovery.img
env: ‘ python3 \ r ’: No such file or directory
Look in the guide by Nick Sherlock and go step-by-step....

@@bavovand thx, this was the problem
your graphics identify as 7mb, can you run any app that need graphics such as garage band or any video editing app?
Not sure, I only use it for XCode. I would imagine things would be much smoother if you passthrough a compatible GPU.
Hi, im just a beginner to hackintosh, my main concern is that im purchasing GT1030 4Gb graphics card, I want to know if this GPU is supported cos i want to use dual monitor setup as well and it just has 1X HDMI and 1X VGA(Curious if this method doesn't have the VGA problem)
GTX 1030 is not supported by MacOS Monterey
Only one doubt - is Mac osk really needed and will it harm if i use someone's Mac to do this??? If something happens to that person's Mac??? Proxmox is really promising.... Please guide me in that osk regard....
Yes, it is needed. No, there is no harm. And you can also google for it.
You can get the OSK from any Mac. It is not unique - it is a phrase, and it is the same on every Mac. Nothing will happen to the computer you get it from.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 if its the same and you can google for it why not just say it?
Hi Austin. Great video. Quick question, could I install it in an Intel i7 6th generation + 1080 Ti? Thank you.
Yes you can but you won't be able to use your Nvidia card. The last MacOS to support Nvidia is/was High Sierra.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 definitely keep looking online you should be able to find something because I was told it does not matter your GPU everything can work like a native Mac, even if you have to manually look for the Kexts yourself to install
Before I watch, does this include GPU passthrough?
no
GPU isn't that hard - google "BUILDING A 2U AMD RYZEN SERVER (PROXMOX GPU PASSTHROUGH / OBS OR XSPLIT IN VM)" for a guide!
is this gonna work on laptop? i have msi modern 14 i3 11gen
Yes - it will work on any CPU that supports virtualization - but a i3 only has 4 cores and the MSI moren AFAIK only 8GB - you want more RAM, more core and preferably a supported GPU - but it will run albeit abit on the slower side...
Does it work on intel iris xe graphics card ?
Yes and no - you can use a virtual display adapter, but you can't use GPU-passthorugh - it will work without GPU accelaration.
@@m.l.9385 👍
Question on Memory allocated. You said 16GB because your machine has more than 16GB? Asking because my machine has 16GB, and wondering if I should give say 12GB in case I need to leave 4GB for Proxmox? Or can I also say 16GB?
If this VM is the only one on your Proxmox host I would say yes, you can allocate 12 of 16GB. My Proxmox host has 96GB available which is why I can do 16 without issue. Monterey works fine with 8.
@@austinsnerdythings2542 Thanks a bunch for the explanation
It's weird after installation, I am unable to login to my Apple ID, Verification failed. Try again later. I am pretty sure my credentials are OK
To be expected. I said you need to change quite a few other settings in the video in the iMessage warning portion ua-cam.com/video/HBAPscDD30M/v-deo.html. That part of the video will redirect you to dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html
well, i intend to install montrey on my windows laptop....so why do i need actual mac to make osk key.....
and what if there is NO actual mac, then should i & other users understand that it is impossible to install montrey via proxmox just becoz a person has no actual mac.....crazy
if i did have a mac then why all the above botheration....
then what ??
It is a licensing issue. You can find the key on the internet (I did, and Apple messed up and put it a court filing - it isn't too hard to find). It's the same for every Mac. The MacOS license states that you shall not use it except on legit Apple hardware. If you aren't worried about that, then you should have no problems. You won't be able to install it on your Windows laptop, unless you have Proxmox running virtualized on top of Windows via Hyper-V/VirtualBox and plan to virtualize MacOS within that (double nested virtualization). I don't recommend that - it'll be very slow.
First time trying this, I followed every step and everything looked on check. However, when boot the VM, I saw the the recovery disk on Open core, clicked on it and the Apple logo came out, but it got stuck there. The progress bar didn't move at all or took me to the disk utility page. What could be wrong? BTW thanks so much for the tutorial, it's spot on!
You probably did not enter and save the OSK key correctly. It needs to be in the quotations and the key is the same for every Mac device so you can easily find it online.
@@ForsakenClarity Thanks! I double-ttiplef checked it, but I'll check it again. I think, what it is, since it's the only VM I plan to have in that specific machine I tried to give 100%of the storage and ram, not accounting for what Proxmox consumes. I'll make a few adjustments and see What happens.
Still the same issue
Sorry for the late reply but did you make sure it's all one line? Copying and pasting it might make a line break so you should use an editor like Notepad++ to be sure
now install windows 11 on virtualized Mac :D
Well I've done nested virtualization before... but never like that!
@@austinsnerdythings2542 Oh it should get better.. then install Mac on the virtualized Windows which is virtualized in Mac which is virtualized in Windows.. We gonna call it Intelception (2022)

You need to obtain the OSK. The key can only be obtained from a real Mac computer.
is it possible if I don't have a real mac, but another hackintosh?
Yes - of course - you can extract the OSK from your hackintosh.

Is it possible to utilize laptops second graphic card, like AMD Radeon HD 8790M using Proxmox? As far as I know, second card - Radeon is not supported in old hackintosh way.

There seems to currently be a problem in the data that macOS downloads during installation if you choose the Recovery method for installing Monterey. Installation fails with this message:
i.imgur.com/vFlA9DT.png
Even using working OpenCore and Recovery images from 6 months ago also replicates the problem, so it has to be an issue with the new data the Recovery is downloading.
I’m investigating why that’s happening
Actually not resolved investigation in progress
I had a few issues with this install echo "options kvm ignore_msrs=Y" >> /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf && update-initramfs -k all -u did not work. Look it up but I did a install of the file missing I had another issue with that and simply skipped it. I dont know what I am missing or what the command does but it works. Another thing was the internet connection. Go to the set up screen and find the terminal. I used ipconfig set en1 INFORM IP address. Check if your going to be using en0 or en1 though.
Can I plug monitor in to proxmox physical server / box and use it as daily workstation ? I do not have GPU in machine but CPU is Intel with Intel graphics.
