This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [abiosoft/colima](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima) | minor | `v0.8.4` -> `v0.9.1` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>abiosoft/colima (abiosoft/colima)</summary> ### [`v0.9.1`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.9.1) [Compare Source](abiosoft/colima@v0.9.0...v0.9.1) #### Highlights This is a hotfix release to address disk error issues for a subset of users. Check [v0.9.0 release notes](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.9.0) for the main release notes. #### Commits - vm: fix root disk size getting set to zero by [@​abiosoft](https://github.com/abiosoft) in [#​1418](abiosoft/colima#1418) - k3s: customizable listen port by [@​abiosoft](https://github.com/abiosoft) in [#​1419](abiosoft/colima#1419) **Full Changelog**: <abiosoft/colima@v0.9.0...v0.9.1> ### [`v0.9.0`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.9.0) [Compare Source](abiosoft/colima@v0.8.4...v0.9.0) #### Highlights This is a new release with several fixes and new features. #### New Features ##### Bridged network This has been a long requested feature and it is finally here. A new `--network-mode` flag has been introduced. Valid options are `shared` and `bridged` with the default being `shared`. ``` colima start --network-address --network-mode bridged ```⚠️ Bridged should only be used if required and the local network is compatible. Shared networking is still the recommended option and remains the default. ##### Persistent Disk **This applies only to newly created instances.** Colima now uses a separate virtual machine disk for container data as a means to guard against accidental loss of data. A deleted instance would not delete the container data disk, and a subsequent `colima start` would attempt to reinstate the data. Supported for Docker, Containerd and Incus runtimes. Kubernetes however is not yet support. To delete all data, the `--data` flag should be passed to `colima delete`. ```sh colima delete --data # delete instance and container data ```⚠️ While it works reliably, there are no guarantees against loss of data. It should be used as a disaster recovery mechanism. #### Fixes - The previous behaviour with templates has been reinstated. i.e. Colima would load config from template file if present. It can still be disabled by passing `--template=false` to `colima start`. - DNS resolution for `host.docker.internal` has been improved and now works fine in Docker, Containerd and Kubernetes containers. - `/tmp/colima` has been removed as a default mount due to issues caused when Colima is being run by multiple users on macOS. - Port forwarder is now configurable between `ssh` and `grpc` with the `--port-forwarder` flag. Defaults to `ssh`. - Fix for 386 architecture emulation when Rosetta is enabled. - Introduction of `--network-preferred-route` flag to use the network address interface as the default route when network address is enabled. This resolves networking issue for some users. - The size of the default storage pool for Incus runtime is now synced on startup to align with the available disk space on the virtual machine. ##### Runtime version bumps **NOTE:** container runtime versions can be updated manually by running the `colima update` command. - Docker version updated to `v28.4.0` - Nerdctl version updated to `v2.1.4` - Incus version updated to `v6.16` - K3s version defaults to `v1.33.4+k3s1 ` #### Commits - k3s: retry ip address retrieval during setup by [@​Nevon](https://github.com/Nevon) in [#​1374](abiosoft/colima#1374) -
