Lima on a Mac
Linux virtual machines (container machines) on macOS · Containers
Lima launches Linux VMs on macOS with automatic file sharing and port forwarding — the "container machines" that back container runtimes (it powers Colima and Rancher Desktop). limactl start boots a VM; containerd/nerdctl or Docker run inside. FrontierStack's Containers pane lists Lima machines with start/stop/shell.
Run Lima with FrontierStack
FrontierStack lists Lima in its Containers catalog. Install or connect it from one place, then monitor its status, ports and certificate, secure it with the firewall and Malware Audit, and back it up.
Run it all from one Mac app.
FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures the whole stack — locally and across your fleet — from a single native macOS app.
