NAME

       podman-machine-set - Sets a virtual machine setting

SYNOPSIS

       podman machine set [options] [name]

DESCRIPTION

       Change a machine setting.

       Rootless only.

OPTIONS

   --cpus=number
       Number of CPUs.  Only supported for QEMU machines.

   --disk-size=number
       Size  of  the disk for the guest VM in GB.  Can only be increased. Only supported for QEMU
       machines.

   --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
