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
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.

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
