+# Using stargz-snapshotter on Lima
+
+This document describes how to get started with stargz-snapshotter on [Lima](https://github.com/lima-vm/lima).
+Lima's default image includes stargz-snapshotter so you don't need additional installation on the VM.
+
+## Enable Stargz Snapshotter using `--snapshotter=stargz` flag
+
+nerdctl's `--snapshotter=stargz` flag enables stargz-snapshotter.
+
+```
+$ nerdctl.lima --snapshotter=stargz system info | grep stargz
+ Storage Driver: stargz
+```
+
+Using this flag, you can perform lazy pulling of a python eStargz image and run it.
+
+```
+$ nerdctl.lima --snapshotter=stargz run --rm -it --name python ghcr.io/stargz-containers/python:3.13-esgz
+Python 3.13.2 (main, Feb  6 2025, 22:37:13) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
+Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+>>>
+```
+
+## Use Stargz Snapshotter as the default snapshotter
+
+nerdctl recognizes an environment variable `CONTAINERD_SNAPSHOTTER` for the snapshotter to use.
+You can add this environment variable to the VM by configuring Lima config as shown in the following:
+
+```
+$ cat <<EOF >> ~/.lima/_config/override.yaml
+env:
+  CONTAINERD_SNAPSHOTTER: stargz
+EOF
+$ limactl stop
+$ limactl start
+$ nerdctl.lima system info | grep Storage
+Storage Driver: stargz
+```
+
+You can perform lazy pulling of eStargz using nerdctl, without any extra flags.
+
+```
+$ nerdctl.lima run --rm -it --name python ghcr.io/stargz-containers/python:3.13-esgz
+Python 3.13.2 (main, Feb  6 2025, 22:37:13) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
+Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
