39 instruction mac #130
Conversation
Setting the networking part on MacOS did not work with the setting on Linux ubuntu. The best I could find is to add a second adapter and set it to Host-only Adapter. When a VM is started an IP address is assigned to it 192.168.1.XXX. Log using tester account and get the acctual address using ifconfig
changed the stat command . on Mac it does not support -c option
minor changes to the ubuntu guide. the guide works on MacOS

Actually not, it just work directly. the only thing which does not work on MacOS is the Docker dashboard (still does not work for me) but we don't needed for self-hosted runner

On Mac I did not have to use Sudo to issue docker commands, but when I installed docker, I got the message which required me to enter admin password to install docker.

I think you need to merge master in to this branch to get updates from mater branch.
Also, as far as I remember, we updated this playbook for Ubuntu. Could you please check the updates?

I guess the interface and the buttons are identical with Linux version. Are they?
