Running Apple iTunes on a container (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 don't think it's possible. iTunes requires a full OS install, so you'll have to just run it on a VM. And Apple has things locked down so much that the only way to do full iPhone/iPad backups is through iTunes.

I totally understand. However, I stumbled upon this repository https://github.com/shield007/wine-itunes-docker

But last commit was 9y so 100% abandoned.

Then I asked myself what if we can run on a container a lightweight wine version tailor made to be compatible with iTunes?

I think you can do this by mounting a macos VM: link

New macOS versions do not require iTunes and you can back up directly through the finder window. Your backup will be located there: /Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

Interesting

I will give it a shot

without a dedicated GPU it will be unbearably slow

I’ll set it once and thats it. It’ll automatically backup.
