Neat, both FreeBSD and NetBSD still have support for

docker-machine

in their package collections. Maybe we should just port the VirtualBox driver to lima and call it a day ? (it just forks

VBoxManage

)

VirtualBox is not supported in NetBSD though. :)

Oh, it looked like it was. Then again, it's invaded

I think it was supported in FreeBSD, but x86 only

(I think I'm the one to blame for packaging

docker-machine

in pkgsrc... I even forgot why I packaged it and/or if I was able to actually use it! :))

Well, it has cloud drivers as well. Thought about porting those too

(I guess for maybe it's support to spin up VMs also without VirtualBox, but I can misremember)

Yeah!

Since lima uses

cloud-init

by default, it should probably be easier ?

Then again, you can probably just use

ssh

and

sshocker

and some shell

Yeah, indeed,

ssh

sshocker

should do the trick

(sshocker was for tunneling the ports and files for you)

I stopped after

podman-machine

, thankfully containerd-machine became lima

Having one hypervisor solution per vendor turned out to be painful in the end...

It was better with VirtualBox, the only problem was which vendor (i.e. Oracle)
