Checkout devvm - near instant VMs for every project folder.
- Detect toolchains from your project's files
- Agents run inside the vm
- Only your project folder mounted
- Network allowlist
- Secrets stay on your machine
- Built on @TheLimaProject

Give every project folder its own VM, and let your coding agent loose in there instead of on your Mac.
devvm makes one VM per project. Only that project folder gets mounted, at the same path as on your machine, so ~/.ssh, ~/.aws and ~/Documents stay out of reach. The network is allowlisted by default, and your GitHub and Claude Code tokens stay on the host.
It reads your project files and sets up the toolchain for you, so a folder with package.json gets node. Claude Code, Codex and opencode run inside with your own settings, skills and MCP servers. The base image is built once, and after that new VMs start in seconds.
Want the agent nowhere near your working tree? devvm --clone gives the VM its own copy of the repo, and its work only reaches yours when you git fetch it.
Free and open source (MIT), built on Lima. Runs on macOS 13+ or Linux.

Thanks again for the invitation.

I made our #PVYlima Desktop capable to run #FreeBSD 15 native on macOS. With Stats and PIDs and Shared / Restricted Folder and all the fancy nice to have... I think, two or three more refinements and we gonna ship it for free... Can run Dockerhost, Can create KVM Images, Can Run Kubernetes even with Longhorn, or FREE BSD... a Distro which needs to be FREE... They need more resources. The Best ? Each VM is a declarative YAML File between 16 -64 Lines of Code. Share it over chat or git.

この三連休の成果。
Limaの VMを GUIで作って動かす macOSアプリを作りました。
macOS 26の vmnetを使って、NATもホストオンリーも LANへのブリッジも sudoなし。固定 IPも OKです。

Always good to isolate your LLMs in a real sandbox, like a VM. I recently wrote a guide for doing that using Lima VM: metachris.dev/2025/11/sandbo…

Shipped Kern v1.14.15 . It can now run locally on your machine 🎊
Building Kern, I realised most of my users are technical, and many already run their own bare metal. Paying AWS prices doesn't make sense.
So now you can self host it with Lima VMs on macOS and Linux. Completely free, just follow readme at github.com/infiloop2/kern

Give coding agents a disposable VM—not your daily machine.
Trail of Bits’ coop runs Claude Code or Codex inside per-project VMs: Firecracker microVMs on Linux, Lima on macOS. `coop up` syncs your project; profiles add dev tools, and stopped VMs can be checkpointed and restored.
That makes risky repos, agent evals, and parallel work easier to contain. Treat the VM as the trust boundary—and read the egress model, not magic.
ALT Official README quick start for trailofbits/coop: setup the VM template, then run Claude Code or Codex inside a project VM; Linux uses Firecracker and macOS uses Lima.

I do have to confess a bit here though...I was already capturing my traces from cc/oai as part of my local ai-infra project, so my @TheLimaProject vm based @kubernetesio cluster with @opentelemetry & @langfuse was already running, but I had intentionally waited for the meetup to get @cursor_ai wired up to it

Arigatou Gozaimasu, Japan! 🇯🇵
What an incredibly rewarding experience it has been here in Yokohama. Yesterday, I had the fantastic opportunity to give my talk!
Me and @_AkihiroSuda_ also staffed the @TheLimaProject project table today.
Cheers to open source!

One command line tool that now boots Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows virtual machines. Lima v2.2 adds Windows guest support and TPM 2.0 emulation.

My new dev stack, use @TheLimaProject for linux vm, install @pidotdev , copy auth.json file, connect to vm through @zeddotdev remote ssh, open 2-3 terminal panes. Safe sandbox, good IDE and great harness.

📌 LIMA is a tool that launches Linux virtual machines on macOS with file sharing and automatic port redirection, like WSL2 on Windows.

Solved the permission fatigue from Claude by running it with dangerously-skip-permissions inside a VM that only has access to the host code directory.
claudevm() {
limactl shell --workdir "$PWD" default -- claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "$@"
}

I missed KubeCon Mumbai happening right in my country☹️, but I am really excited about what's coming next! 🇯🇵
Konnichiwa! Thrilled to share that I'll be speaking at KubeCon Japan!

I got block device support merged into lima!
--block-device=/dev/disk1
No more more messing around with ZFS kernel modules on macOS, which always seem to make my mac a little buggy.
