Is it possible to pass port forwarding via command line start?

[lattice0]

limactl start --help does not show anything about port forwarding. Is there a way?

You'll have to use --set for anything that doesn't have an explicit commandline option. It uses yq syntax. E.g.

--set '.portForwards += [{"guestPort": 8080, "hostPort": 8888}]'

Install yq and experiment from the commandline to get the syntax right before you pass it to limactl:

$ echo '{}' | yq '.portForwards += [{"guestPort":8080, "hostPort": 8888}]'
portForwards:
  - guestPort: 8080
    hostPort: 8888
