If a machine name is not specified as an argument, 21 then the OS changes will be applied to `podman-machine-default`. 22 23 ## OPTIONS 24 25 #### **--help** 26 27 Print usage statement. 28 29 #### **--restart** 30 31 Restart VM after applying changes. 32 33 ## EXAMPLES 34 35 Update the default Podman machine to the specified bootable OCI image. 36 ``` 37 $ podman machine os apply quay.io/podman_next 38 ``` 39 40 Update the specified Podman machine to the specified bootable OCI image. 41 ``` 42 $ podman machine os apply quay.io/podman_next podman-machine-default 43 ``` 44 45 ## SEE ALSO 46 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-machine(1)](podman-machine.1.md)**, **[podman-machine-os(1)](podman-machine-os.1.md)** 47 48 ## HISTORY 49 February 2023, Originally compiled by Ashley Cui <acui@redhat.com>
