How can I exec / ssh into the VM?

Hi,

I have been trying to exec or ssh into the VM, but so far I did not find any ways to do it. I suppose it is running lima, but running limactl list or limactl shell is not working either.

Anyone?

You can use this command (long line, embedded spaces) to create a shell inside the VM:

LIMA_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima" "/Applications/Rancher Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl" shell 0

If you break anything, you get to keep all the pieces! 😸
