Running Apple iTunes on a container

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨deleted@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

I’ve an iPhone and Id like to backup my phone to my server running Debain 11 with docker installed.

So, is there a way to install and run iTunes either on the os it self or in a container?

I think you can do this by mounting a macos VM: wikihow.com/Install-Macos-on-a-Virtual-Machine New macOS versions do not require iTunes and you can back up directly through the finder window. Your backup will be located there: /Users//Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

    without a dedicated GPU it will be unbearably slow

Not iTunes, but you can use libimobiledevice to backup an Apple device on Linux docs.mvt.re/en/latest/ios/…/libimobiledevice/
