podman-machine: Create a new machine with a specific name.
$ podman machine init ${name}
try on your machine
The command "podman machine init ${name}" is used to initialize a new virtual machine (VM) with the specified name using the Podman tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:
- "podman": It is a command-line tool for managing containers and pods. It is an alternative to Docker and allows you to run containers without requiring a daemon running in the background.
- "machine": Refers to the Podman Machine component, which is responsible for creating and managing virtual machines.
- "init": This subcommand initializes a new virtual machine. It sets up a new VM environment with the specified name.
- "${name}": Represents the name you provide for the virtual machine. You need to replace "${name}" with the actual desired name, without the curly braces.
By executing this command, Podman creates a new virtual machine with the given name and configures it for further use. This VM can then be used to run containers and manage containerized applications using Podman.
