I’m trying to a new project running with Trellis and lima on mac, but I’m getting the following error.

I run:

trellis new example.com

cd example.com

trellis vm start

And I get this error:

Running command => limactl create --tty=false --name=example.com -

Thanks for the topic, just confirmed after upgrading to the latest Lima (v1.1.0+) that I’m running into this as well

For now, you’ll need to downgrade Lima to get up and running. Homebrew makes this quite difficult, but follow these steps and you should be good:

# First uninstall the current version
brew uninstall lima

# Download the formula file for Lima v1.0.7
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/a3d33e158ed14a48cf60dfd34d15a1acd276d72a/Formula/l/lima.rb

# Install from the local file
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install ./lima.rb

# Clean up the downloaded file
rm lima.rb
