Chapter 6. Issues on macOS

This section describes CodeReady Containers issues that affect users on a macOS host.

6.1. The system tray does not start the virtual machine

The experimental macOS system tray cannot start the CodeReady Containers virtual machine. To work around this issue, start the CodeReady Containers virtual machine from the command line using the crc start command:

$ crc start

For more information, see Starting the virtual machine in the Red Hat CodeReady Containers Getting Started Guide.

6.2. The crc cleanup command aborts with an error

The crc cleanup command on macOS returns an error and stops the cleanup process from proceeding.

To resolve this issue, run the following command:

$ launchctl stop crc.daemon

6.3. Hibernation causes VM time to desynchronize

Time in the CodeReady Containers virtual machine can become desynchronized with the time on your host machine. This issue occurs if the CodeReady Containers virtual machine is running when the host machine enters hibernation. To resolve this issue, stop the CodeReady Containers virtual machine and restart it:

$ crc stop
$ crc start
