DESCRIPTION¶
Change a machine setting.

--rootful=true|false¶
Whether this machine should prefer rootful (true

container execution. This option will also update the current podman
remote connection default if it is currently pointing at the specified

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
