DESCRIPTION

14       podman system reset removes all pods, containers, images and volumes.
15
16
17       This command must be run before changing any of the following fields in
18       the containers.conf or storage.conf files: driver, static_dir,  tmp_dir
19       or volume_path.
20
21
22       podman  system  reset  reads  the current configuration and attempts to
23       remove all of the relevant configurations. If the  administrator  modi‐
24       fied  the  configuration  files first, podman system reset might not be
25       able to clean up the previous storage.

EXAMPLES

38   Switching rootless user from VFS driver to overlay with fuse-overlayfs
39       If the user ran rootless containers without having  the  fuse-overlayfs
40       program  installed,  podman  defaults  to the vfs storage in their home
41       directory. If they want  to  switch  to  use  fuse-overlay,  they  must
42       install the fuse-overlayfs package. The user needs to reset the storage
43       to use overlayfs by default.  Execute podman system reset as  the  user
44       first  to  remove  the VFS storage. Now the user can edit the /etc/con‐
45       tainers/storage.conf to make any changes if necessary. If the  system's
46       default was already overlay, then no changes are necessary to switch to
47       fuse-overlayfs. Podman looks for the existence of fuse-overlayfs to use
48       it when set in the overlay driver, only falling back to vfs if the pro‐
49       gram does not exist. Users can run podman  info  to  ensure  Podman  is
50       using fuse-overlayfs and the overlay driver.
