DESCRIPTION

Change a machine setting.
 
Rootless only.

--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
