podman-machine-set - Man Page
Sets a virtual machine setting
Synopsis
podman machine set [options] [name]
Description
Change a machine setting.
Rootless only.
Options
--cpus=number
Number of CPUs. Only supported for QEMU machines.
--disk-size=number
Size of the disk for the guest VM in GB. Can only be increased. Only supported for QEMU machines.
--help
Print usage statement.
--memory, -m=number
Memory (in MB). Only supported for QEMU machines.
--rootful
Whether this machine should prefer rootful (true) or rootless (false) container execution. This option will also update the current podman remote connection default if it is currently pointing at the specified machine name (or podman-machine-default if no name is specified).
Unlike [podman system connection default] this option will also make the API socket, if available, forward to the rootful/rootless socket in the VM.
Examples
To switch the default VM podman-machine-default from rootless to rootful:
$ podman machine set --rootful
or more explicitly:
$ podman machine set --rootful=true
To switch the default VM podman-machine-default from rootful to rootless:
$ podman machine set --rootful=false
To switch the VM myvm from rootless to rootful:
$ podman machine set --rootful myvm
