lima-vm/lima v0.15.0

on GitHub

This release experimentally implements yq expressions for customizing the templates (#1359),
e.g.,

limactl start --set='.cpus = 2 | .memory = "2GiB"'

This release is also remarkable for automatic forwarding of Kubernetes NodePorts and LoadBalancers (#1355).

Also, in this release we welcome new maintainers Anders F Björklund (@afbjorklund) and Balaji Vijayakumar (@balajiv113) 🎉

Upgrading notice

containerd <= v1.6.16 creates /etc/cni with permission 0700 when running in the rootful mode.

This causes an error like open /etc/cni/tuning/allowlist.conf: permission denied for CNI tuning plugin >= v1.2.0 when running in the rootless mode.

Lima users may face this error during upgrading nerdctl to >= v1.2.0 (Lima >= v0.15.0).
Run lima sudo chmod 0755 /etc/cni to dismiss this error.
