#!/bin/shĮxport vmFile=/Users/nigel/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Ubuntu\ 64-bit\ Server\ 16.04.4.vmwarevmįinally I put an entry into crontab using crontab -e again modify this for the filename & location of your particular script /Users/nigel/startVM I then created a script starVM to start up the VMware Fusion VM (you will need to edit the filename of your particular VM. Then using Terminal on the Mac I created a symbolic link to point to the VMware Fusion command to start the VM sudo ln -s "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun" /usr/bin/vmrun

STARTUP LAUNCH PROGRAMS FOR MAC HIGH SIERRA HOW TO

I created a Ubuntu Linux VM under VMware Fusion then followed the excellent guide by on how to set up PMS on a VPS but adapted a little as I was setting up on a local server albeit in a Linux VM I feel like short of PMS running as a daemon, the next best thing would be running a script that would immediately lock the screen on boot (but not on regular logins - obviously you would never be able to use the Plex account if it immediately locked on login!), that would be pretty secure but also solve the issue of automatically loading PMS. Away from home now, will probably try tonight. I suppose on a headless Mac auto-login with 1 minute lock would work, but I have an iMac so VERY not headless.Īlso has anyone recently verified that PMS WON’T run with the screen locked? I have yet to experiment with this. I know some have mentioned auto screen lock after 1 minute, but that’s a window of time in which someone could mess with your Mac.

So auto-login to your macOS account, then run Windows or Linux in a VM? Doesn’t that add another layer of complication without solving the security issue of auto-login? I eventually gave up on trying to do this with Mac natively & now run PMS in a VMware Fusion VM & have a script to start the VM when the Mac boots. I am just about to investigate running PMS in a docker container which will I think provide the solution as basically it’s the Linux version of PMS running in a very lightweight virtual said: I have now tried starting PMS as a service with a launch daemon but unfortunately it doesn’t work as PMS on Mac evidently requires a logged in user with a desktop. Perhaps before getting all snippy you should read my second paragraph where I explicitly state what is required? Security-wise the simplest fix is to set a 1m timeout on the screensaver & an immediate lock screen timeout. For your solution to work you just need to start PMS then click the “Open at login” selection then setup autologon for your user. It isn’t however actually necessary to start a web browser. Thanks for putting in the effort to include screen shots in your reply I do appreciate the effort. To be said I don’t smoke anyway, keep your cigar as it objectionable. Ok, sad it could not be disclosed exactly what was required by a secondary poster in this discussion that i was not addressing.
