help with getting singularity/apptainer running on arm based Apple macbook running Sequoia 15.1.1

[kbroch-rivosinc]

apptainer read-only error

followed direction here: https://apptainer.org/docs/admin/main/installation.html#mac. basically:

install:

 brew reinstall qemu lima

run:

limactl start template://apptainer
limactl shell apptainer

any time I try to run something it starts with trying to download something and fails with read-only:

kbroch@lima-apptainer:/Users/kbroch/rvi/repos/riscv-software-src/riscv-unified-db$ ./do
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/Users/kbroch/rvi/repos/riscv-software-src/riscv-unified-db/.home’: Read-only file system

didn't even get as far with some, downloaded the yaml config file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sylabs/singularity/main/examples/lima/singularity-ce.yml

but got this:
