** ISSUE **
Cannot download images when going through company SSL inspection proxy

Install netskope or zscaler clients on users machine and execute the following command

finch run --rm amazoncorretto:11 -- java -version

** ERROR **

The host shell export variables also dont work
SSL_CERT_FILE

The procedure I followed to resolve this issue is as follows.

1. executed into lima vm

LIMA_HOME=/Applications/Finch/lima/data /Applications/Finch/lima/bin/limactl shell finch

2. coping certficate chain from users home mounted folder to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
3. updating the local ca store by executing

sudo update-ca-trust

The go struct for finch https://github.com/runfinch/finch/blob/main/pkg/config/config.go#L35-L57. does not have support for additional environment variables or certificate import

Seems like something we can fix by exposing Lima's ca-cert features. Tagged as enhancement

Ran into this as well. Also happens with podman, but the steps that @aavileli outlined to "resolve" work for both. Required finch vm stop and finch vm start also for it to take effect for me.

With Rancher Desktop's implementation however, I do not run into this.

Just to let everyone know, the suggestion by @aavileli also works on windows, the only difference is you should use wsl cli to shel into the lima vm.

after that just place the certificates required under : /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/

Then as mentioned just run:

update-ca-trust

I didn't even needed to stop and start VM
