NAME

podman-varlink - Runs the varlink backend interface

SYNOPSIS

podman varlink [OPTIONS] [--help|-h] VARLINK_URI

DESCRIPTION

Starts the varlink service that allows varlink clients to interact with podman. This should generally be done with systemd. See Configuration below.

podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS] [OPTIONS] varlink VARLINK_URI

GLOBAL OPTIONS

--help, -h Print usage statement

OPTIONS

--timeout, -t The time until the varlink session expires in milliseconds. The default is 1 second. A value of 0 means no timeout and the session will not expire.

EXAMPLES

Run the podman varlink service manually and accept the default timeout.

$ podman varlink unix:/run/podman/io.projectatomic.podman

Run the podman varlink service manually with a 5 second timeout.

$ podman varlink --timeout 5000 unix:/run/podman/io.projectatomic.podman

CONFIGURATION

Users of the podman varlink service should enable the io.projectatomic.podman.socket and io.projectatomic.podman.service. This is the preferred method for running the varlink service.

You can do this via systemctl

systemctl enable --now io.projectatomic.podman.socket
