SYNOPSIS

podman machine start [name]

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 machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.
 
Only one Podman managed VM can be active at a time. If a VM is already running, podman machine start will return an error.
 
podman machine start starts a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
