Unable to start under mac (xhost error) about exegol HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for this! I don't have any way of testing this on Mac so thanks for your feedback and solution
I'll this to the wiki

However, you mention that exegol --no-default start still tries to launch it with xhost but it shouldn't be the case.
I think what you're trying to do is to start it without X11 after the container has already been created.
Since the display sharing is configured at the container creation, you'd need to remove it so that it gets created again with the desired conf

$ exegol -v --no-default start
[+] Exegol image exists
[+] Exegol container exists
[+] Exegol container is up
[VERBOSE] Exegol container was created with host networking
[VERBOSE] Exegol container was created with display sharing
[*] Running xhost command for display sharing
[*] Entering Exegol

$ exegol -v reset             
[*] Exegol container exists
[*] Exegol container is up
[*] Stopping Exegol container
[+] Exegol container is down
[*] Deleting Exegol container
[+] Exegol container does not exist anymore

$ exegol -v --no-default start
[+] Exegol image exists
[-] Exegol container does not exist
[*] Creating the container
[+] Exegol container exists
[-] Exegol container is down
[*] Starting the container
[+] Exegol container is up
[*] Entering Exegol

Try this again, with -vv or -v. Do you still encounter issues? If so please paste the -vv output

You issue makes me think I could improve the error handling and exegol start. For instance, I could make the wrapper remove the container if it's unable to start ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'll add this to the TODO.md

from exegol.

Can you please confirm the problem is fixed or supply further information on the issue?
I'm closing the issue in the mean time, feel free to re-open it.
