docker-machine-restart1

Restart a virtual machine

Part of podman-machine-restart(1).

Usage

podman machine restart [options] [name]

Overview

Restarts a virtual machine for Podman.

The default machine name is podman-machine-default. If a machine name is not specified as an argument, then podman-machine-default will be restarted.

Stopping an already stopped virtual machine is not considered an error so running restart on a stopped virtual machine just starts it from a stopped state.

podman machine restart stops and then starts a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.

Options

--help

Print usage statement.

--no-info

Suppress informational tips.

--quiet, -q

Suppress machine restarting status output.

Examples

Restart a podman machine named myvm.

$ podman machine restart myvm
