MacOS Ventura

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, and apologies if this belongs in Opencore.

So about a week ago I installed successfully Ventura in a Proxmox VM using Q35, uefi etc, to run Bluebubble as an iMessage server, it's been working well until this morning where whenever I go to 'Console' the virtual desktop shows up with login and so on, but I can't log in anymore since the virtual screen blacks out ever other second, to me it looks like it's reconnecting. This goes on and on. I've tried the different 'display' settings like default, VMWare, VGA etc with same result. So I thought ok maybe an update did this, did a new install just now, works great, I install Bluebubbles server, never manages to configure it because I want to disable SIP. Boot up and screen starts to flicker like it did, enabling SIP again makes no difference.

Anyone experienced something similar?

[Edit]

I'm not sure why I am being down voted, if it's an obvious answer please share instead.

[Edit 2] An update.

So I never figured out really what was going on, I had taken a snapshot so went back and tried every setting that I set with a snapshot in between to see if it made a difference, I turn off every iCloud feature I don't believe is needed for iMessage to work. Still works, the only thing I can think of that I didn't do like I did with the other VM's is turn off 'Find my computer', this I had turned off on all of my previous VM's, but this time I managed to just click yes to activate. Not sure if this were the problem, but right now it's running well with it activated. Will update if it all of the sudden stops working again, or if I find out anything else regarding this.

Getting stuck on the Firebase setup part of Installation

I need help with setting up firebase. Ive followed the manual docs and everything located in the app Blue Bubbles app but it keeps saying Firebase is not configured! Does anybody have a clear step by step guide for the firebase side of the installation process? I am on a Mac mini I5 8GB.

will this mac mini work with bluebubbles? how is bluebubbles going?

I tried proxmox with sonoma on a n100 16gb mini pc. Was a pain to install, still tinkering as I can't get it working 100%. Was able to send a message to one contact but not another, couldn't get group chats to work.

I'm thinking of picking up a macmini7,1 2.6ghz dual core 8gb memory and a 1tb HDD for $50 just for bluebubbles.

I might add a sata? (I saw the video where you can easily add another drive) and run other stuff to tinker with off the macmini later.

I just want to be able to see respond to group chats from Windows and receive 2FA texts.

Worst case, I can always remote into my mac mini and use the imessage app from Windows?
