Only supported for QEMU machines. 24 25 #### **--help** 26 27 Print usage statement. 28 29 #### **--memory**, **-m**=*number* 30 31 Memory (in MB). 32 Only supported for QEMU machines. 33 34 #### **--rootful**=*true|false* 35 36 Whether this machine should prefer rootful (`true`) or rootless (`false`) 37 container execution. This option will also update the current podman 38 remote connection default if it is currently pointing at the specified 39 machine name (or `podman-machine-default` if no name is specified). 40 41 Unlike [**podman system connection default**](podman-system-connection-default.1.md) 42 this option will also make the API socket, if available, forward to the rootful/rootless 43 socket in the VM. 44 45 ## EXAMPLES 46 47 To switch the default VM `podman-machine-default` from rootless to rootful: 48 49 ``` 50 $ podman machine set --rootful 51 ``` 52 53 or more explicitly: 54 55 ``` 56 $ podman machine set --rootful=true 57 ``` 58 59 To switch the default VM `podman-machine-default` from rootful to rootless: 60 ``` 61 $ podman machine set --rootful=false 62 ``` 63 64 To switch the VM `myvm` from rootless to rootful: 65 ``` 66 $ podman machine set --rootful myvm 67 ``` 68 69 ## SEE ALSO 70 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-machine(1)](podman-machine.1.md)** 71 72 ## HISTORY 73 February 2022, Originally compiled by Jason Greene <jason.greene@redhat.com>
