after a fresh install via brew install lima today

asdf@MacBookPro ~ % lima XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/501 nerdctl ps

i edited nerdctl.lima for the time being

cat nerdctl.lima
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
exec lima XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/501 nerdctl "$@"

Normally systemd sets these.

$ lima env | grep XDG
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=tty
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_SESSION_ID=4
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop

Check with loginctl perhaps

[michaelctd]

Confirmed, this happened to me as well

[afbjorklund]

These could have some clues perhaps:

sudo systemctl status -l systemd-logind

Jan 17 18:54:45 lima-default systemd-logind[719]: New session 3 of user anders.

loginctl

SESSION  UID USER   SEAT TTY  
      3 1000 anders      pts/0

1 sessions listed.

If running with the "default" lima instance
