the
serial.log
file shows this at the end, which seems wrong
Copy code
lima-rancher-desktop login:
w
you may need to adjust your LIMA_HOME variable as you swap between the two sceanrios
b
if using rancher’s lima.. where is that ?
currently, i was using ~/.lima
looksl ike ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/
w
~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima/0
yup
guessing .lima is superseding what rancher is doing
b
now I’m really confused 🙃 when i change to that, it doenst show anything running
w
if you run rdctl shell what happens
b
i shell into
lima-rancher-desktop
what is this voodoo ?
w
well thats their app to make some of the background stuff easier
b
and also, thanks for pointing me to that
b
so that the vm .. i dont understand why
limactl ls
doesnt show the vm thats running
w
you mean set the env variable?
b
Copy code
$ echo $LIMA_HOME
~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/_config/0

$ ./limactl ls
WARN[0000] No instance found. Run `limactl start` to create an instance.
NAME    STATUS    SSH    ARCH    CPUS    MEMORY    DISK    DIR
w
hmm thinking
b
oh wait..
trying to “fix things” .. i’ve got 2 rancher-desktop installed.. 1.2.1 and 1.3.0 is there a chance there’s a different LIMA_HOME from
1.3.0
?? mabe ~/.rd
hmm, doenst seem like it
rdctl is rancher 1.3.0 rdctl
w
so seeing something diff
Copy code
limactl ls
NAME       STATUS     SSH            ARCH      CPUS    MEMORY    DISK      DIR
default    Stopped    127.0.0.1:0    x86_64    4       4GiB      100GiB
b
what’s your LIMA_HOME ?
w
Copy code
LIMA_HOME=~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima limactl ls 
NAME    STATUS     SSH                ARCH      CPUS    MEMORY    DISK      DIR
0       Stopped    127.0.0.1:51339    x86_64    2       4GiB      100GiB
now i don’t know if rancher will respect the env var, but I have a ~/.lima and RD seems to find it’s lima config correctly
b
rdctl
- i dont know what exactly its doing but thats what i’ve been looking for for 2 days. thank you @wide-mechanic-33041 for the pointer. i appreciate it
w
yeah ideally you shouldn’t need to use limactl directly for RD stuff
b
Agree, but dns entries aren't resolving so would like to change lima.yaml and can't when I don't know where ite coming from
