Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS virtual machines on Apple Silicon.

One of the most interesting/unique features is the integration with OCI-compatible container registries. Tart can pull/push virtual machines from/to a registry. This feature was inspired by OCI Artifacts initiative.

Can it work with an image size less than 25GB?

Unfortunately, macOS itself is pretty heavy and takes up 20ish GB itself. Tart can work with smaller VM sizes but it's hard to create one.

On a bright size Tart compresses the disk layers and you'll only need to download about 18 GB over the internet.
