Files and Logs

ColimaStack reads selected files under Colima home. It does not create a separate remote store for these documents.

COLIMA_HOME is respected when set. Otherwise ColimaStack uses ~/.colima.

PurposePath
Profile configuration$COLIMA_HOME/<profile>/colima.yaml
Default template$COLIMA_HOME/_templates/default.yaml
SSH config$COLIMA_HOME/ssh_config
Lima override$COLIMA_HOME/_lima/_config/override.yaml
Daemon log$COLIMA_HOME/<profile>/daemon/daemon.log

The selected profile’s configuration is parsed to populate editor values and mount rows where available. If the profile configuration file is missing, the app falls back to profile status/default values.

The Activity and Overview pages show the selected profile’s daemon log. If the file is missing, the app shows a message that no Colima daemon log was found at the expected path.

Displayed log text is redacted and capped to the last 200,000 characters. Process stdout/stderr streams are separately capped at 1,048,576 bytes.

See Security & Privacy for redaction details.
