Podman Virtual Machine
Podman on MacOS or Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers must run with a Linux kernel, and the podman virtual machine provides that Linux kernel on Mac. If it does not exist, the virtual machine must be initialized, then started.
The started virtual machine mounts as volume the home directory of the user that starts it. There's also an API server listening on $HOME/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/podman-machine-default/podman.sock.
A started virtual machine survives reboot.
Virtual Machine Operations
- Initialize a virtual machine.
- Start a virtual machine.
- Stop a virtual machine.
- Remove a virtual machine.
- Display virtual machine information.
- Inspect a virtual machine.
- List virtual machines.
- Configure a virtual machine.
- ssh into a virtual machine.

Rootless Mode
The mode in which the podman Virtual Machine runs where containers are not allowed root permissions.
