Kubernetes cluster not accessible - using `kubectl` command from the host machine's terminal

[mmesnjak]

Description

I have installed Colima on my Mac M1 Max machine (Mac OS Sonoma Version 14.4 (23E214)) using brew: brew install colima

After that, I have started the aarch64 profile: colima start -p k8s-aarch64 --edit And changed these properties in the profile yaml file:

cpu: 4
memory: 8
kubernetes:
  # Enable kubernetes.
  # Default: false
  enabled: true
vmType: vz
rosetta: true
mountType: virtiofs

After starting VM I got no error, and this is the output:

❯
colima ls
PROFILE        STATUS     ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK     RUNTIME       ADDRESS
k8s-aarch64    Running    aarch64    4       8GiB      60GiB    docker+k3s    192.168.106.4

But, limactl is not reporting anything:

❯
limactl ls
WARN[0000] No instance found. Run `limactl create` to create an instance.

And after switching to colima kubernetes context:

❯
kubectx
Switched to context "colima-k8s-aarch64".

I cannot get any response from the kubernetes cluster:

❯
kubectl get pods

E0313 16:17:51.870777   26410 memcache.go:265] couldn't get current server API group list: Get "https://192.168.106.4:6443/api?timeout=32s": dial tcp 192.168.106.4:6443: i/o timeout

although docker is reporting containers running:

❯
docker context list

This should be resolved now. Can you try the latest development version?

brew install --head colima
