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.

EXAMPLES
       Start the specified podman machine.

       $ podman	machine	start myvm
       Starting	machine	"myvm"
       This machine is currently configured in rootless	mode. If your containers
       require root permissions	(e.g. ports < 1024), or	if you run into	compatibility
       issues with non-podman clients, you can switch using the	following command:

	    podman machine set --rootful myvm

       API forwarding listening	on: /var/folders/my/k1kpd8ds7p938mchyb1r_4mw0000gn/T/podman/myvm-api.sock

       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/homebrew/Cellar/podman/5.2.4/bin/podman-mac-helper install
	       podman machine stop myvm; podman	machine	start myvm

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

	       export DOCKER_HOST='unix:///var/folders/my/k1kpd8ds7p938mchyb1r_4mw0000gn/T/podman/myvm-api.sock'

       Machine "myvm" started successfully

       Start with --no-info:

       $ podman	machine	start --no-info	myvm
       Starting	machine	"myvm"
       Machine "myvm" started successfully

       Start with --quiet:

       $ podman	machine	start --quiet myvm
       Machine "myvm" started successfully
