How to change colima config default image
Description
I just installed colima on macOS and I have an issue that it cannot download the image when I do "colima start":
failed to download "https://github.com/abiosoft/colima-core/releases/download/ve.6.8-2/ubuntu-23.1
O-minimal-cloudimg-arm64.qcow2": Get "https://github.com/abiosoft/colima-core/releases/download/v0.6
This is happening because this is a work laptop and due to security reasons, I am not allowed to download it via the Terminal. I can download this file in the browser.
How can I change the colima config to use a local image instead of downloading this one?
I've tried to add something like this to .colima/default/colima.yaml but still wants to download it:
images:
- location: *./ubuntu-23.10-minimal-cloudimg-amd64. raw°
arch: x86_64°
vmType: 'vz'
mountType: 'virtiofs'
Any ideas?

It looks like a bug in colima, the lima handle location property and allow user to specify the img location.

It is not a bug, it is the expected behaviour.
The Colima disk image includes bundled dependencies which may be missing in custom images.
However, providing an option for users to override the image download URL is being considered.
