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.
|
|
|
|
**podman machine stop** stops a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
