I want to use lima to run x86 architecture ubuntu system on my arm chip, but I try to run it through rosetta parameters, but it keeps freezing

In the log, do you see an error related to apt-get for installing newuidmap (uidmap package)?
If so, is it related to corporate proxies or something similar?
Does template://docker-rootful work?

Full system mode (robust, but very slow, and may look like freezing)

limactl start --vm-type=qemu --arch=x86_64

Rosetta mode (less robust, but very fast)

limactl start --vm-type=vz --rosetta
lima nerdctl run -it --rm --platform=linux/amd64 ubuntu

Does "Rosetta" mode work? Probably it is what you are looking for.

I ran two instances and found that their IP addresses were the same. Why? How do I access this IP through an external host?

The eth0 zero interface is purely internal. If you want to reach the VM from the host, then you can specify --network=vzNAT and get an additional lima0 interface that is routable from the host (but not from the external network).

--network lima:host or --network lima:shared work for me
But you need to install the network plug-in socket_vmnet
Also I want to know what is the difference between these two types?

jandubois Sep 16, 2023

host mode only allows communication between the VMs and the host. shared mode also allow communication to the external network via this adapter. It doesn't really matter much, as you should always have access to the external network over eth0.

This diagram is still pretty accurate; just replace vde_vmnet with socket_vmnet; they are conceptually the same thing:

@AkihiroSuda Should this image be somewhere in the docs folder in the repo? Or is the link to the KubeCon slides good enough?

Yes, but we are switching the docs dir to the website: #1754
Also, the image should be eventually rewritten in mermaid.
