launchd auto start support missing?

Open csetera opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

The colima stuff is working great as a Docker Desktop replacement with one minor exception for me. I've been unable to get it to autostart via launchd. I think that it is likely because the "start" command forks the hypervisor and then eventually exits. My understanding is that launchd expects the command to run indefinitely. I took a look at the code, but not conversant enough in Go to figure out how to "fix" this. Is this something that is on the roadmap?

Yeah, auto-startup has not been added to the project.

Thanks. In the short term, simply making an option that leaves the colima application running in the foreground might be enough to give people a way to wrap it up in launchd. Anyway... Thanks for this project!
