Running a stateful container using colima

[benclmnt]

As of 19 July 2023, there is a limitation if you want to mount a writable folder into a container volume.

As mentioned here, you should add the following into your /Users/<username>/.lima/_config/override.yaml:

mountType: 9p
mounts:
  - location: "/Users/<username>"
    writable: true
    9p:
      securityModel: mapped-xattr
      cache: mmap
  - location: "~"
    writable: true
    9p:
      securityModel: mapped-xattr
      cache: mmap
  - location: /tmp/colima
    writable: true
    9p:
      securityModel: mapped-xattr
      cache: mmap

and restart colima: colima delete && colima start.
