Is there any commands or options for starting lima with boot?

[JJHWAN]

Thanks for the answer with My previous Q&A.

Next Now I'm trying to set Lima VM started with my Mac OS boot

Is there options or commands for setting auto reboot with system or user login?

I have tried with launchd (launchctl) Agents & Daemons,

but with agent, VM disappears after it's starting process is done
(setting KeepAlive flag makes loop with starting process)

and with daemon, error [time="..." level=fatal msg="must not run as the root"] comes out.

Is there a Lima VM user using Mac with auto reboot of VM?

I think you need to use the "Automator.app", and then run a .sh bash script on login, the contents being similar to:

limactl start [name-of-vm]

The following plist via launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.me.vm.lima.debian.plist worked for me

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</plist>

The VM doesn't stop very cleanly though, I think limactl hostagent immediately exits on a SIGTERM so you need to limactl stop vm and possibly limactl disk unlock to get a VM to start up again.
