    To use Xcode.

    Such thing is against Apple's EULA.

    Yeah its probably possible, but you will need to find a way to mount a boot iso and run it with a version of hackintosh os of some sort, and then you need all the hardware to work, so find a vps provider that allows custom iso.

    Whether they will let you do it or it infringes their licensing arrangements is another thing.

  • opencore maybe?

    Running virtualized Mac is not against EULA, as long as the underlying hardware must be Apple hardware. You don't even need per-VM licenses.
    However, Mac Minis are expensive, so that any Mac VM will be expensive too.

    If you have Apple hardware, you can use this Vagrantfile to provision a VM.
    I tried it on Linux dedicated machine and it will not work. Mac contains CPU checks.

    You can definitely run MacOS on normal hardware or in normal KVM - that's called a Hackintosh and some people use it.

    However, per Apple's EULA, it's not permitted to sell it as a service, even if the underlying hardware is Apple made.
