Colima with K3s + Docker + Incus

[liszca]

How can I run Colima with K3s + Docker + Incus at once? As I managed to install Colima it was very productive to have it working with Incus. But then I needed Kubernetes. With colima ssh it was easy to have it all installed including Docker and K3s on containerd.

But all the stuff I installed myself cannot be accessed as elegantly as the stuff from the template.
Is there a way to fix it? I know there will be raceconditions between the ports of each container system, but I think that is not that hard to manage.

Right now Docker only provides the registry for K3s. And Incus I want to use when I got stuck building Docker images. I did it like that and it felt like nice workflow to figure details out.

Why not use multiple profiles? If you pass an extra argument to the colima start command, it creates a separate instance using the argument as the profile name.

# default profile with docker and kubernetes
colima start --kubernetes

# incus profile
colima start incus --runtime incus

I tried to and it asks me to delete something:

colima start incus --runtime incus
INFO[0000] starting colima [profile=incus]
INFO[0000] runtime: incus
INFO[0000] preparing network ...                         context=vm
INFO[0003] creating and starting ...                     context=vm
FATA[0003] error starting vm: error at 'creating and starting': runtime disk provisioned for containerd runtime. Delete container data with 'colima delete --data' before using another runtime

 1 liszca@dodo:/Users/liszca
 $ colima list
PROFILE    STATUS     ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK     RUNTIME           ADDRESS
default    Running    aarch64    2       2GiB      50GiB    containerd+k3s    192.168.106.4

What would 'colima delete --data' do to my default profile? Is that still working after that?

Also I figured out with 'colima template' I can edit the default template. Is it possible to provide a template for different profiles?

# delete the existing data for the incus profile
colima delete incus --data

# start afresh
colima start incus --runtime incus

Thanks now I got it how it works.
