macOS 14 VM Type VZ / Virtiofs - SSH agent forward fails after colima stop / start (if container with agent was still running)

[AndreasA]

Description

If I run a docker compose project where one service forwards the ssh agent into the container using /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock, and before doing a colima stop, the project / service is not stopped, after a colima start the agent is not forwarded to the container correctly and it will fail with a connection refused.

This can be fixed by stopping all containers that use a SSH agent, stopping colima and restarting it.

Using colima ssh I did some checks and it seems that in the case where the issue occurs, /run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock is not a symlink to the agent file but a folder that contains a symlink to the agent.

manually removing that folder and creating a symlinks to the real agent file also fixes the issue.
