Reproduction Steps

1. Add provision block in template as follows:

provision:
  - mode: system
    script: |
      cat <<EOF > /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker-buildkit-env.conf
      [Service]
      Environment="BUILDKIT_STEP_LOG_MAX_SIZE=20971520"
      Environment="BUILDKIT_STEP_LOG_MAX_SPEED=1048576"
      EOF
      systemctl daemon-reload
      systemctl restart docker

2. Clean install VM

colima start

3. Check that file is not present: colima ssh -- ls /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

4. Stop and start again

colima stop && colima start

5. Now file is present

Expected behaviour

Provision scripts should be considered when we do start first time

Additional context

As a workaround we can use colima start --edit but just save template without changes. In this case, scripts will be run

I too have this problem and the workaround does not work for me.

My custom provision section are never executed.
