Podman Machine

Machine lets you create Podman hosts on your computer. It creates servers with Podman on them, then configures the Podman client to talk to them.

Driver Plugins

These core driver plugins are bundled:

• None
• VirtualBox
• QEMU (KVM)

It is possible to add standalone drivers.

Cloud Drivers

Cloud drivers are explicitly not supported.

Please use Kubernetes for that, instead.

Inspiration

Podman Machine is inspired by Docker Machine, which is a similar solution but for another popular container runtime.
