"colima ls -j" does not contain "address" field when running in "--arch x86_64" mode

[anatoliy-balakirev]

Description

When running Colima on my M4 Macbook like this (took from here to get it working with Testcontainers): colima start --network-address This command: colima ls -j gives me: {"name":"default","status":"Running","arch":"aarch64","cpus":2,"memory":2147483648,"disk":107374182400,"address":"192.168.205.3","runtime":"docker"}

But, if I want to use Colima in x86_64 mode (to get Oracle images working (which I need with Testcontainers for my integration tests)) and start it like this (first running colima stop and colima delete, of course): colima start --arch x86_64 --network-address

then executing colima ls -j gives me: {"name":"default","status":"Running","arch":"x86_64","cpus":2,"memory":2147483648,"disk":107374182400,"runtime":"docker"}

So, the address field is not there anymore.

P.S. colima version 0.8.1

Reproduction Steps

1. Start Colima with this command: colima start --arch x86_64 --network-address
2. Run colima ls -j and check the output

Expected behaviour

field "address":"<some IP address>" must be present, but it's not.

Are there any updates on this? This has been running in the wild for a couple of months now. And it breaks our development process since it's a requirement for running testcontainres

@MrwanBaghdad I personally needed it to run an older version of Oracle DB (21, from here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gvenzl/oracle-xe) and fixed it by switching to the latest one (23, from here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gvenzl/oracle-free), which does support Apple's ARM M-chips natively.
