user-v2 network

⚡ RequirementLima >= 0.16.0

user-v2 network provides a user-mode networking similar to the default user-mode network and also provides support for vm -> vm communication.

To enable this network mode, define a network with mode: user-v2 in networks.yaml

By default, the below network configuration is already applied (Since v0.18).

...
networks:
  user-v2:
    mode: user-v2
    gateway: 192.168.104.1
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
...

Instances can then reference these networks from their lima.yaml file:

limactl start --network=lima:user-v2
networks:
   - lima: user-v2

An instance’s IP address is resolvable from another instance as lima-<NAME>.internal. (e.g., lima-default.internal.).
