It looks like the real nice thing here is having a formula for QEMU with the ARM patch applied: https://github.com/simnalamburt/qemu/tree/hvf

With this I believe you could also used [nerd](https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl) instead of podman but I haven't tested it yet.

Edit: It works. Had a bit of trouble since I wanted to uninstall the "real" QEMU first, but `lima` still depended on it, and then installing the patched QEMU needed to update the version of `lima` I had installed, which then tried to reinstall QEMU, which failed because of some symlinks which were now owned by the patched QEMU...

This is the first time I hear of nerdctl and it's _very_ interesting.

M1 aside, does it work fine on regular arm64 linux? I run a small Raspberry Pi 4B homeserver and I would have used podman for improved security, were it not for the poor/incomplete Compose support, while nerdctl seems to explicitly support it.


OT, but I'm impressed you managed to make all those changes within the HN-comment-edit-timeout!


TIL of nerdctl. Anyone know what the differences between nerdctl and podman are?
