08/26/2022, 8:10 AMIt’s more of a Qemu limitation than Lima.

Even if that happens, Qemu would still be the recommended default due to it being FOSS.

08/26/2022, 4:07 PMI think it is possible to make it work in Linux, but I am not sure if there is a working prototype for Mac yet ? So it is a Docker-only feature for now I think

08/26/2022, 5:42 PMyeah, i read the virtio docs for qemu and it seems like it should just be a matter of running the daemon (assuming it runs on macos at all) and running qemu with the correct options

08/26/2022, 5:43 PMis that not correct and qemu would need to use the virtualization framework instead of the hypervisor framework?

08/26/2022, 5:43 PMi was fairly certain docker desktop was using qemu with virtiofs so I’d be surprised if you couldn’t use qemu

I think that’s only for cross architecture emulation.
