If anyone uses Apple hardware, let me know. I have a quick and dirty guide to getting linuxgod's iso mounted and locally browseable relatively easily. I will defer to linuxgod on the method, but it works for me. Takes about 10 minutes once the iso is downloaded; will post once I've ran it by linuxgod for review.

Very interested.

Sounds good, im all ears. Have yet to do any of that myself since i do not want to expose my NAS to the internet, or do any actual “work” ag home on my home network…

It took me much longer than 10 min to get my MacBook Air going.

For those of you concerned about DMCA/Copyright silliness: SEE US farmers win right to repair John Deere equipment - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64206913

John Deere rolled over, thus establishing a solid precedent for the "Right to Repair" on a vehicle a person has purchased.

In short: You own it. Therefore, you have the right to repair it...arguably. Regardless, DM me if anyone busts your balls regarding the "Right to Repair" and access to "reasonable documentation necessary to repair". I'd be happy to discuss the legal implications.
 
Definitely post your macOS info for the group.
 
NOTE: be careful when copying and pasting that you don't accidentally copy over line breaks.

TIS USING MACOS VENTURA (should work on earlier versions as well):

1. Download TheCompleteTLCFSM2021.iso (most current iso as of the time of this writing).

2. Mount the iso file by double-clicking on it from within any Finder window. This will mount the iso as /Volumes/Complete Land Cr/

Note: Unless you create a persistent mount, or extract the entire contents of the iso to a properly named directory on your local device, step 2 will need to be performed every time you wish to access your TIS after any reboot on your Mac device.

3. Open the Terminal app (Launchpad --> Other --> Terminal)

4. Modify /etc/apache2/httpd.conf as follows:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

CHANGE FROM:
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">

CHANGE TO:
DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Complete Land Cr"
<Directory "/Volumes/Complete Land Cr">

Alternatively, one can extract the iso to a local directory and modify their httpd.conf file appropriately to allow for automatic loading of TIS at each boot, however, this is a simple howto designed to get someone quick and dirty TIS access. Technically, macOS mounts iso images by way of the underlying hdiutil command.

THEN:

5. sudo chmod +a "_www allow execute" ~
6. sudo apachectl configtest
7. sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
8. sudo apachectl graceful

THEN:

9. Open a web browser and enter "http://localhost" into the address bar. You should have full TIS.

Enjoy!

If folks could please provide feedback on if that works for them, it would be greatly appreciated. DM me with any issues.
 
Seems reasonable.

On the other hand, it was pretty straightforward to install a local web browser and configure it once, so a browser favorite opens the fsm with a single click every time I want it.
 
Just a different way to skin a cat. If one needs access to the FSM on the daily, I definitely don't recommend my way. Or, I might take a look into how to better mount the iso so the document root is persistent. Maybe next Saturday...lol

For people who don’t know “vi”, you might do this to modify the httpd.conf lines:

cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | sed -e ‘s/\/Library\/WebServer\/Documents/\/Volumes\/Complete Land Cr/g’ > /tmp/httpd.conf

sudo mv /tmp/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
