Thanks for this :) I think I would prefer for this to be in the FAQ or the Install.md file. |

Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the installation on macOS 12 Monterey. Qemu is only compatible macOS>=14, so I couldn't install it through Homebrew. I moved to MacPorts, as it let install older versions, but even installing older versions of Qemu that should be compatible with macOS 12 Monterey was not successful. I was always stuck with: I finally opted for an older version of Docker Desktop as it is the only solution I could make works. I will update my PR then, and move this to |

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately macOS is known for poor backward compatibility. |

@abiosoft I have updated the docs to mention macOS version restriction and to indicate some solutions for older versions. I let you check it and give me feedback 🙂 |

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [abiosoft/colima](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima) | minor | `v0.9.1` → `v0.10.0` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>abiosoft/colima (abiosoft/colima)</summary> ### [`v0.10.0`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.10.0) [Compare Source](abiosoft/colima@v0.9.1...v0.10.0) #### Highlights This release introduces AI support and other updates. ##### AI is here Colima now has AI support. By leveraging [Krunkit](https://github.com/containers/krunkit) and [Ramalama](https://ramalama.ai/), Colima is able to provide the ideal platform to run confined, isolated and secure gpu-powered AI workloads on Apple Silicon devices. ```sh # run a model colima model run gemma3 # serve a model, chat interface would be availabe at localhost:8080 colima model serve gemma3 # for more colima model --help ``` #### Other Updates - Addition of `krunkit` virtual machine type with gpu support. `colima start --vm-type krunkit`. - Incus instances are now reachable directly from the host if network address is enabled. `colima start --network-address`. - Containerd runtime (with nerdctl command) now inherits `CONTAINERD_*` and `NERDCTL_*` environment variables on the host. - Port forwarding can now be disabled by passing `--port-forwarder=none` to `colima start`. - Volume mounts can now be disabled by passing `--mount=none` to `colima start`. - Download mechanism has been reworked in native Go, eliminating dependency on `curl` and `shasum` on the host. - New `after-boot` and `ready` provision modes for provision scripts. ##### Runtime version bumps **NOTE:** container runtime versions can be updated manually by running the `colima update` command. - Docker version updated to `v29.2.0` - Nerdctl version updated to `v2.2.1` - Incus version updated to `v6.21` - K3s version defaults to `v1.35.0+k3s1`. #### Commits - ci: move to macos-15-intel runner by [@​abiosoft](https://github.com/abiosoft) in [#​1425](abiosoft/colima#1425) -
