For macOS this brings up a dialog, asking the user if they are sure they want to shut down, which makes this less useful for automated graceful shutdowns, but it may behave better on Linux, and there might be ways to instruct macOS to not ask the user, so it's still a nice feature, and aligns with the SIGUSR1 for suspend, and SIGINT for non-graceful shutdown.
Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Apple Silicon. Built by CI engineers for your automation needs. Here are some highlights of Tart:
- Tart uses Apple's own
Virtualization.Frameworkfor near-native performance. - Push/Pull virtual machines from any OCI-compatible container registry.
- Use Tart Packer Plugin to automate VM creation.
- Easily integrates with any CI system.
Tart powers Cirrus Runners service — a drop-in replacement for the standard GitHub-hosted runners, offering 2-3 times better performance for a fraction of the price.
Many companies are using Tart in their internal setups. Here are a few of them:
