NAME

podman-machine-create - Create a new virtual machine

SYNOPSIS

podman machine create [options] name

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new virtual machine for Podman.

Podman on MacOS 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 create creates a new Linux virtual machine where containers are run.

OPTIONS

--cpus=number

Number of CPUs.

--memory, -m=number

Memory (in MB).

--kernel-path=path

Print usage statement.

--device=device[:permissions]

Add a device to the virtual machine. Optional permissions parameter can be used to specify device permissions. ro means the device is read-only.

Example: --device=/dev/xvdc:ro.

--help

Print usage statement.

EXAMPLES

$ podman machine create myvm
$ podman machine create --device=/dev/xvdc:rw myvm
$ podman machine create --memory=1024 myvm
