1. Install acme.sh shell script

git clone https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh.git
cd acme.sh
./acme.sh --install

Optionally, set the home dir and/or account info (if already have one).
If was previously using LetsEncrypt's certbot, can probably get account info from /etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory/*/regr.json.

It is the year 2020 and replicating APFS containers still sucks. One would expect it would be a simple copy and paste in the Disk Utility app but this is still far from reality.

Last year I wrote how I managed to clone my macOS system under Catalina. The main trick was to create a DMG file with multiple volumes, mount it on target machine and drop to command-line to do asr restore from synthetised disk while avoiding possible pitfalls.

The good news is that Apple devs definitely worked on improving this under Big Sur and added some documentation (see man asr). But I didn't understand it fully on first read. Maybe someone could explain how is this supposed to work?

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

• a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
• H: preserves hard-links
• A: preserves ACLs

extract ova files from an archive

$ tar -xvf vmName.ova

modify ovf for some invalid tag

$ vi vmName.ovf
