### "Port forwarding does not work"
Privileged ports (0-1023) cannot be forwarded. e.g., you have to use 8080, not 80.

### error "field SSHPubKeys must be set"

Make sure you have a ssh keypair in `~/.ssh`. To create:
```
ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa <<<n 2>&1 >/dev/null
```

### error "hostkeys_foreach failed: No such file or directory"
Make sure you have a ssh `known_hosts` file:
```
touch ~/.ssh/known_hosts
```

### error "failed to execute script ssh: [...] Permission denied (publickey)"
If you have a `~/.ssh/config` with a username overwrite for all hosts, exclude `127.0.0.1` from it. Example:
```
Host * !127.0.0.1
User root
```

### "Hints for debugging other problems?"
- Inspect logs:
- `limactl --debug start`
