how to fix "lima v1.0.1 need socket_vmnet owned by "root""

[Bevisy]

Description

when using brew install socket_vmnet, socket_vmnet is default owned by current user but not root. So when using lima, it will error as below:

❯ limactl sudoers
INFO[0000] Please check https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/network/#socket_vmnet for more information.
FATA[0000] networks.yaml field `paths.socketVMNet` error: file "/usr/local/Cellar/socket_vmnet/1.1.7/bin/socket_vmnet" is not owned by "root" (uid: 0), but by uid 501

how to fix this?

git clone https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet
cd socket_vmnet
# Change "v1.1.7" to the actual latest release in https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet/releases
git checkout v1.1.7
make
sudo make PREFIX=/opt/socket_vmnet install.bin

# Set up the sudoers file for launching socket_vmnet from Lima
limactl sudoers >etc_sudoers.d_lima
less etc_sudoers.d_lima  # verify that the file looks correct
sudo install -o root etc_sudoers.d_lima /etc/sudoers.d/lima
rm etc_sudoers.d_lima

vi ~/.lima/_config/networks.yaml  # set paths.socketVMNet to "/opt/socket_vmnet/bin/socket_vmnet"
