podman-machine-start(1) General Commands Manual podman-machine-start(1) NAME podman-machine-start - Start a virtual machine SYNOPSIS podman machine start [name] DESCRIPTION Starts a virtual machine for Podman. Rootless only. 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. The default machine name is podman-machine-default. If a machine name is not specified as an argument, then podman-machine-default will be started. Only one Podman managed VM can be active at a time. If a VM is already running, podman machine start returns an error. podman machine start starts a Linux virtual machine where containers are run. OPTIONS --help Print usage statement. --no-info Suppress informational tips. --quiet, -q Suppress machine starting status output.
