Lima

v2.1.0Kubernetes Core

Lima v2.1.0 adds experimental macOS and FreeBSD guest support, renames the guest home directory path, and consolidates disk files — a release with real migration considerations alongside useful new features.

• breakingDisk file consolidation means no downgrade path

  Once an instance runs under Lima v2.1, its disk format is incompatible with v2.0 and v1.x. Snapshot or back up critical VM instances before upgrading. If you manage shared Lima environments or CI pipelines that pin Lima versions, ensure all consumers upgrade together — you can't roll back individual instances.

• breakingHardcoded paths to `/home/${USER}.linux` will break

  The guest home directory is now `/home/${USER}.guest`. A symlink covers the old path, so most things will keep working. However, any scripts, dotfiles, or tooling that hardcodes the `.linux` suffix — particularly in non-symlink-aware contexts like bind mounts or container volume paths — should be audited and updated.

• enhancementUse `limactl shell --sync` for AI agent workflows

  If you're running AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Aider) inside Lima shells, `--sync` prevents the agent from accidentally modifying host files by syncing the working directory into the guest context. Adopt this flag in any automation or agent harness that launches `limactl shell` — it's a low-friction safety net.

• enhancementk3s template now supports multi-node clusters

  The built-in `k3s` template can now spin up multi-node clusters, which makes local Kubernetes testing significantly more realistic. If you've been working around this limitation with custom configs or alternative tools like Rancher Desktop, it's worth re-evaluating the native template.
