Unable to reach LocalStack when running it with colima
3 min read | by Jordi Prats
If we try to run localstack using colima we might face the following error:
$ localstack status services ✖ ERROR: could not connect to LocalStack health endpoint at http://localhost:4566 Because enabling a reachable IP address would have an impact on the startup time, by default colima doesn't expose any IP address. To fix it we just need to add the --network-address to the colima start command:
$ colima stop INFO[0000] stopping colima INFO[0000] stopping ... context=docker INFO[0012] stopping ... context=vm INFO[0016] done $ colima start --network-address INFO[0000] starting colima INFO[0000] runtime: docker INFO[0000] preparing network ... context=vm INFO[0000] dependencies missing for setting up reachable IP address context=vm INFO[0000] sudo password may be required context=vm INFO[0003] starting ... context=vm INFO[0037] provisioning ... context=docker INFO[0037] starting ... context=docker INFO[0042] done Or use the --edit flag to update the option to true:
$ colima start -e Once enabled, if we run again the localstack status services, we'll be able to reach LocalStack:
