Here's a breakdown of the changes I've made to your code:
This commit introduces USB writing capabilities for Linux, macOS, and an initial
proof-of-concept for Windows. It also includes the preceding work on GUI development,
Docker orchestration, and image extraction.
Key features and changes:
1. **GUI (PyQt6):**
* I've created a user interface for macOS version selection, Docker interaction, image
extraction, USB drive selection, and operational feedback.
* I've also made platform-specific UI adjustments for USB drive identification on Windows
(manual disk number input).
2. **Docker Orchestration:**
* I've set up the system to build and run Docker-OSX commands in a separate thread.
* It now streams Docker logs to the GUI.
* It also persists containers with unique names for file access.
* And finally, it manages container lifecycle (stop/remove).
3. **Image Extraction:**
* This allows you to copy `mac_hdd_ng.img` (main OS) and `OpenCore.qcow2` (EFI)
from the Docker container to the local filesystem.
4. **USB Writing - Linux (`usb_writer_linux.py`):**
* I've refactored this to use file-level copy (`rsync`) for the main macOS system
partition, correctly handling various USB sizes.
* It uses `qemu-img`, `parted`, `kpartx`, `apfs-fuse`, `mkfs.hfsplus`, `rsync`.
* I've also automated partitioning, formatting, EFI copy, and macOS system copy.
5. **USB Writing - macOS (`usb_writer_macos.py`):**
* I've implemented this using `diskutil`, `hdiutil`, `qemu-img`, and `rsync`.
* I've also automated partitioning, formatting, EFI copy (via raw image attach and
rsync), and macOS system copy (via raw image attach and rsync).
6. **USB Writing - Windows (`usb_writer_windows.py`):**
* This is an initial implementation using `diskpart` for partitioning and EFI setup.
* It uses `qemu-img` for image conversion.
* It relies on `7z.exe` (external) for EFI file extraction from raw image and
`robocopy` for copying EFI files to USB.
* **Main macOS system image writing is currently a guided manual step**,
instructing you to use an external 'dd for Windows' utility. This
is due to the complexity of automating raw HFS+/APFS partition writing
safely on Windows without commercial filesystem drivers.
7. **Cross-Platform Integration (`main_app.py`):**
* I now dispatch to the appropriate platform-specific
writer module (Linux, macOS, Windows).
* GUI elements adapt for platform-specific needs (e.g., Windows disk ID input).
* All long-running operations are threaded with progress updates.
8. **Documentation:**
* I've created a `README.md` file, covering overview, features, prerequisites (including
OS-specific tools), usage instructions, known limitations (especially for
Windows USB writing and the macOS image sizing for `dd`), and planned
enhancements.
9. **General Structure:**
* I've organized the code into `main_app.py`, `utils.py`, `constants.py`,
`usb_writer_linux.py`, `usb_writer_macos.py`, and `usb_writer_windows.py`.
This work consolidates all development up to providing initial USB
creation capabilities across the three target platforms, with Linux and macOS
being mostly automated and Windows having a defined path with some manual
intervention required for the main system write.
