colima doesn't start as a new standard user #1463
Description
Description
I am trying to use colima+docker on macOS. I have created a new standard user with which I intend to run docker containers.
When starting colima with this user, the startup hangs at Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 3: "ssh"
I do not have this issue with the administrator account on which brew install colima was run. More importantly, I do not have the issue either with another standard user I've been using for a while.
% colima start -v

Output of colima status
On the failing user, I get
% colima status
FATA[0000] error retrieving current runtime: empty value
On other users, I have
% colima status
INFO[0000] colima is running using macOS Virtualization.Framework
INFO[0000] arch: aarch64
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
INFO[0000] mountType: virtiofs
INFO[0000] docker socket: unix:///Users/me/.colima/default/docker.sock
INFO[0000] containerd socket: unix:///Users/me/.colima/default/containerd.sock
Reproduction Steps
- With an administrator account, run
brew install dockerandbrew install colima - Create a new standard user
- With this user, run
colima start
Expected behaviour
The documentation should specify the needed configuration needed for a new account to be able to run colima. I am unable to pinpoint the config difference between the failing account and the others.
