Does Lima work with Vagrant? (Is there a Vagrant Provider for Lima?)

[techieshark]

Given that VirtualBox doesn't work on M1 Macs anymore, and Lima seems like a good Docker alternative that is performant & open source, I'm looking into Lima.

But previously I had used VirtualBox configured by Vagrant (with Trellis) and I'm wondering if I can have Vagrant set up / control Lima the same way it can for VirtualBox or Docker.

So: does anyone know if there is a Vagrant Provider for Lima?

I see it's possible to create a Custom Provider for Vagrant, but I thought I'd check if anyone has already done such a thing for Lima.

I have mostly translated my old Vagrantfile (ruby) into Lima (yaml), but it sounds like a good addition...

There are some old warts like the "known ssh key" (instead of cloud-init), but I guess that it should work ?

Perhaps it would make more sense to look towards Vagrant3 ? (since it is using Go, rather than Ruby)

I'm interested in either a provider or better documentation on mimicking Vagrant with Lima (or Colima), as the vagrant-go rewrite was just announced as dead.

On the other hand, VirtualBox now also works on ARM Macs (since 7.1). So there is probably no need for a vagrant provider, but documentation could be good.
