## "How does Lima relate to Colima?"
7+
8+
[Colima](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima) is a third-party project
9+
that wraps Lima to provide an alternative user experience for launching containers.
10+
11+
The key difference is that Colima launches Docker on Alpine VM by default,
12+
while Lima launches containerd on Ubuntu VM by default.
13+
14+
| Container | Lima | Colima |
15+
|------------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
16+
| containerd | `limactl start` | `colima start --runtime=containerd` |
17+
| Docker | `limactl start template://docker` | `colima start` |
18+
| Podman | `limactl start template://podman` | - |
19+
| Kubernetes | `limactl start template://k8s` | `colima start --kubernetes` |
20+
21+
The `colima` CLI is similar to the `limactl` CLI, but there are subtle differences:
22+
23+
| Configuration | Lima | Colima |
24+
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
25+
| CPUs | `limactl start --cpus=4` | `colima start --cpu=4` |
26+
| Reverse SSHFS | `limactl start --mount-type=reverse-sshfs` | `colima start --mount-type=sshfs` |
27+
| Rosetta | `limactl start --rosetta` | `colima start --vz-rosetta` |
28+
| Access to VM by IP | `limactl start --network=lima:shared` | `colima start --network-address` |
