podman-machine(1)	    General Commands Manual	     podman-machine(1)

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 ma-
       chine.

       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 ma-
       chine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines,	but can	be op-
       tionally	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.
