podman-machine-set - Sets a virtual machine setting
podman machine set [options] [name]
Change a machine setting.
Rootless only.
--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.
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
