Description

Running colima start --kubernetes fails with the following error:

TRAC[0016] cmd ["lima" "sh" "-c" "INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=true INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_ENABLE=true k3s-install.sh --write-kubeconfig-mode 644 --disable=traefik --advertise-address 192.168.105.3\n192.168.105.2 --flannel-iface col0 --docker --https-listen-port 63823"]

FATA[0016] error provisioning kubernetes: exit status 127 

This happens because of adding a second ip address to col0, which limautil.GetIpAddress doesn't handle very well and returns a newline delimited string of ip addresses (see the value being passed in --advertise-address above).

You can also see this newline in for example colima list:

PROFILE    STATUS     ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK      RUNTIME       ADDRESS
default    Running    aarch64    3       8GiB      100GiB    docker+k3s    192.168.105.3

Output of colima status

INFO[0000] colima is running using macOS Virtualization.Framework
INFO[0000] arch: aarch64
INFO[0000] runtime: docker

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a config with a fixed ip address:

provision:
  - mode: system
    script: ip address add 192.168.105.2/24 brd 192.168.105.255 scope global dev col0

2. Run colima start --kubernetes --profile my-profile

Expected behaviour

It's a little tricky, because I don't know how colima could pick which address it should use as the advertised ip for k3s, but even just picking the primary would be better than crashing.

Additional context

I also tried to override --advertise-address using --k3s-arg, but the argument is not replaced and instead just tacked on to the end of the command:

$ colima start -k --k3s-arg="--disable=traefik" --k3s-arg="--advertise-address=192.168.105.2" --very-verbose
...
TRAC[0025] cmd ["lima" "sh" "-c" "INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=true INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_ENABLE=true k3s-install.sh --write-kubeconfig-mode 644 --disable=traefik --advertise-address=192.168.105.2 --advertise-address 192.168.105.5\n192.168.105.2 --flannel-iface col0 --docker --https-listen-port 57908"]

I've filed that as a separate bug in #1363
