<p>Any virtual machine (or server) with ssh can be used for Lima.</p>

<p>Most compatible mount type is "reverse-sshfs" (from <a href="https://github.com/lima-vm/sshocker" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sshocker</a>).</p>
|

<p>Optionally you can use "qemu" vm with "9p" (aka virtfs) mount.</p>

<p>On macOS 13+, you can also use "vz" vm with "virtiofs" mount.</p>
