NAME

   podman-machine - Manage Podman's virtual machine

SYNOPSIS

   podman machine subcommand

DESCRIPTION

   podman machine is a set of subcommands that manage Podman's virtual machine.

   Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to
   the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.

   All podman machine commands are rootless only.

   NOTE:  The  podman-machine  configuration file is managed under the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/podman/machine/ directory. Changing the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable while the
   machines are running can lead to unexpected behavior.

   Podman machine behaviour can be modified via the [machine] section in the containers.conf(5) file.
