Podman Virtual Machine Operations

Podman Virtual Machine Initialization

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-machine-init.1.html#

Podman on MacOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers must run with a Linux kernel, and the Podman virtual machine provides that kernel.

podman machine init

initializes a new Linux VM where the containers are run.

For more details, see

Podman Virtual Machine

Start Virtual Machine

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-machine-start.1.html

Once the VM is initialized, it must be stared with:

podman machine start

Install System Helper

The system helper service is not installed; the default Docker API socket address can't be used by podman. If you would like to install it run the following commands:

sudo /opt/brew/Cellar/podman/4.2.1/bin/podman-mac-helper install
podman machine stop; podman machine start

You can still connect Docker API clients by setting DOCKER_HOST using the following command in your terminal session:

export DOCKER_HOST='unix:///Users/ovidiu/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/podman-machine-default/podman.sock'

Stop Virtual Machine

podman machine stop

Remove a Virtual Machine

podman machine rm

Display Virtual Machine Information

podman machine info

Inspect a Virtual Machine

podman machine inspect

List Virtual Machines

podman machine list

Configure a Virtual Machine

podman machine set

ssh Into a Virtual Machine
