Guest agent for Tart VMs

A guest agent for Tart VMS is a lightweight background service that runs inside the virtual machine and enables enhanced communication between the host and guest and other useful features, such as automatic disk resizing.

Currently implemented features:

  • Automatic disk resizing for macOS VMs with recovery partition removed (--resize-disk)
  • Clipboard sharing for macOS VMs using our in-house SPICE vdagent implementation (--run-vdagent)
  • tart exec support (--run-rpc)
    • it's recommended to invoke it as a launchd global agent because fewer privileges will be available to commands started via tart exec
    • however, you can also invoke it as a launchd global daemon if running commands started via tart exec as root is desired
  • tart ip --resolver=agent support (--run-rpc)
    • allows resolving VM's IP address without relying on DHCP leases and/or an ARP table

To run all features appropriate for a given context, use component groups:
