Automatic detection failed (macOs Catalina)

Both lima and podman are installed:

#  which podman
/usr/local/bin/podman

#  podman --version
podman version 3.4.4

#  which lima
/usr/local/bin/lima

#  lima --version
limactl version 0.8.2

macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Checked lima shell and it seems to be OK. Explicitly selecting the podman executable does nothing. Toggle Developer Tools option on the menu is not working.

If you need further information please ask I’ll be glad to help.

Thanks, that was fast 😃 It works, I was waiting for this so I could test the volume mounting (with which I’m struggling right now). In Docker desktop I remember I could choose the folder for mounting the volumes for certain containers. There’s no such clarity in Podman Desktop companion, also it doesn’t place the chosen name in the volume configuration, it always places an assigned hash. When creating a volume I guess most of the options can have fixed values (volume type or other mounting options), some option selectors to ease non-expert users (like me) would be nice.

Another thing is that to make the example command work (or any ther podman command) I first have to export the CONTAINER_HOST environment variable from the terminal. Otherwise podman does not work.

A I said, I’ll be happy to help you as long as it doesn’t exceed what I can do 😃 I can share my particular use case if it may help in some way. Best regards and thanks again.

@jsanta Yes, it is true, this is it, that useLima: false is not proper, thank you for the awesome report. I am investigating and will issue a fix asap.
