you basically installed a parallel lima install. probably should look at https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/references/rdctl-command-reference/

thanks for the reply. i didnt start any new vm using limactl, i was hoping i could access details of vm started by rancher desktop using limactl. seems some config is missing for limactl to get this info. Also as you said, i figured i could access vm using
rdctl shell
and do ifconfig to get the details. I tried adding route on my laptop from docker bridge network cidr to lima vm ip (which i got from eth0 from inside vm). --- This didnt work.
on vm itself i can see udp port being listened to. Didnt yet figure out how to open this onto my mac intel laptop.
i will also try changing the lima vm network to experimental sock-vmnet config and see if this might help.

you can use limactl, but you need to point it at the rd limahome and not the generic one. guessing you are dealing with https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/366

Please don't use
limactl shell
with the Rancher Desktop VM; it is very easy to get something wrong. Use
rdctl shell
instead.
The
eth0
interface is not accessible from the host; if you are using VZ emulation you should be able to use the
vznat
interface. If you are using QEMU you must enable admin access to get a bridged network at the
rd0
interface. This sometimes fails (depending on your local network config), so you can also try
rd1
, which is a shared network accessible from the host, but not the LAN.
