Lima is an alternative to using Docker Desktop on your Mac.

Description

This plugin is compatible with xbar and SwiftBar, and provides a menubar app that creates a Lima menubar option with submenus for each Lima VM on your machine. For each VM, you can:

  • start/stop the VM
  • stop, start or remove stopped containers
  • pull or remove images from the VM
  • Run an arbitrary command inside the VM with lima

Screen shots

Installation

Copy lima-plugin to ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/lima-plugin.30s, or run make install

Dependencies

  • xbar or SwiftBar - Both allow you to make custom menubar apps with simple scripts.

    I'm getting the following error in xbar:

    I've tried a few permutations of adding /usr/local/bin and /opt/homebrew/bin to the command, as well as checking environment variables.

    Ultimately, I had to symlink lima and limactl into /usr/local/bin. Is this expected, and should this be part of the Makefile?

    The plugin does not work properly if we change the destination of the homebrew installation

    If we have changed the installation destination of homebrew, unable to find limactl. Is there any better solution?

    xbar or swiftbar starts the plugin with PATH as follows:

    PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

    My installation directory of homebrew:

    % brew --prefix
    /Users/${USER}/homebrew
    

    lima-xbar-plugin cannot call limactl because brew --prefix cannot be used.

    Temporary workaround

    Add the homebrew/bin path directly to extrapaths

    extrapaths = ["/usr/local/bin", "/opt/homebrew/bin", "/opt/local/bin", "/Users/${USER}/homebrew/bin"]
    

    Expected results

    The path of homebrew/bin is automatically resolved and limactl can be called. Then xbar or swiftbar will not generate any errors.

    • While we're in there, check for /usr/local/sbin, /opt/homebrew/sbin, /opt/local/sbin, ~/bin and ~/sbin directories too.

  • Suggestion: use `limactl list --json`

    Suggestion: use `limactl list --json`

    First, thanks a lot for working on this

    https://github.com/unixorn/lima-xbar-plugin/blob/e32889db0b1b7b1d9c8697b75b5be5e6242bddcb/lima-plugin#L71

    The grep above doesn't seem robust, and will probably break soon with a future version of Lima. I'd suggest using limactl list --json and use jq for parsing JSON.

    $ limactl list --json  | jq .

    Adds black to dev-deps and runs it through poetry

    Previously, the Makefile depended on black being installed in the active Python venv already. This instead lets Poetry manage it, lets the lockfile determine the version, and has the Makefile run it via Poetry.

  • Deal with Swiftbar change

    Deal with Swiftbar change

    Description

    Swiftbar now is capturing STDERR in addition to STDOUT, which made all the logging info get spammed to the menubar.

    We now default to log level CRITICAL - log output is only necessary during debugging, so this stifles all log output during normal runs by Swiftbar and Xbar.

    Closes #26

    Type of changes

    Bugfix to cope with Swiftbar changes.

  • v1.1.1(Oct 3, 2021)

    Rewrite in Python, mainly because the bash code was starting to get too large to work with comfortably, and Python's way more maintainable.

    On top of that, the original bash version was slow, because there were a lot of cases where it was running lima nerdctl XYZ | jq to parse out information about containers and images, and it wasn't caching the output.

    The python version caches the image and container information, and is much faster - 0.355 seconds on my MBP, the shell version takes 17.332 seconds.
