Any ideas?
Ah. On an m3 mac on ventura. For those that have a similar issue, the solution is to put this
Copy code
vmType: vz
rosetta:
  enabled: true
  binfmt: true
in 
~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/
, and quit Rancher Desktop, then delete 
~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/0
and restart.

Please don't mess with the Lima config; configure this via Rancher Desktop settings instead: Emulation (macOS) | Rancher Desktop Docs
And yes, the issue is that QEMU is not compatible with M3 chips. This should get fixed upstream by the end of this month, and then be in the Rancher Desktop 1.13.0 release if all goes well (it won't be in 1.12.0, as that is almost done already).
b
It doesn't appear on my version of rancher desktop.
f
Oh, then you should probably upgrade. Or wait until late next week and upgrade to 1.12.0. There are various fixes in the VZ support code that you want to get.

Any other gotchas with virtualization I should watch out for on m3s?
f
No, that's it, afaik

Also, I don't necessarily understand what is wrong with changing the lima overrides for stuff like this when there isn't a gui option. I used to modify them to ensure all the binary formats were enabled for cross-building with extra provisioning and it is in the documentation.
f
There have been some reports of VM disk corruption with VZ mode and Lima, and the fix for that will be in 1.12, so you definitely want to upgrade to that. Although I'm not sure if Alpine guests are affected by the issue too, or not, but better be safe!

I will say, rancher-desktop has come a long way since I adopted it over two years ago.

If you override the Lima settings directly, then that could interfere with settings Rancher Desktop tries to manage, so you could end up with weird bugs. But sometimes you have no choice...
b
Of course. It is a tool of last resort, certainly.
Thanks, @fast-garage-66093. Looking forward to what this project achieves in the future, and thank you and your team for all the hard work!

You are welcome! Happy to hear that it works well for you!
