Leash fails to start on macos (apple silicon) with "stat /leash/leash-entry-linux-arm64: no such file or directory"

[pacificsky]

I installed leash on my Apple Silicon Mac with npm install -g @strongdm/leash and attempted to run it with leash --open bash

This failed with error:

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: exec: "/leash/leash-entry-linux-arm64": stat /leash/leash-entry-linux-arm64: no such file or directory

I am using colima as my docker runtime running Ubuntu 24.04 aarch64 as the host os.
I didn't install using the brew/app method. Does the npm install not work on Apple arm64?

Leash tries to store some files in /var/folders, but that directory is not mounted by colima by default.
It took me a while to find a workaround, but this can be solved by explicitly mounting /var/folders inside the colima VM container via --mount ~:w --mount /var/folders:w, i.e.

colima start  --mount ~:w  --mount /var/folders:w

Note that home directory (~) needs to be explicitly mounted too since the default mounts are now overridden.

There's another issue I'm also experiencing though #64
