NAME

6       podman-system-service - Run an API service

SYNOPSIS

10       podman system service [options]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The podman system service command creates a listening service that will
15       answer API calls for Podman.  You may optionally  provide  an  endpoint
16       for  the  API  in  URI  form.   For  example, unix://tmp/foobar.sock or
17       tcp:localhost:8080.  If no endpoint is provided, defaults will be used.
18       The  default  endpoint  for  a rootful service is unix:/run/podman/pod‐
19       man.sock and rootless is unix:/$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock (for
20       example unix:/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock)
21
22
23       The REST API provided by podman system service is split into two parts:
24       a compatibility layer offering support for the Docker v1.40 API, and  a
25       Podman-native  Libpod layer.  Documentation for the latter is available
26       at https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html.   Both  APIs  are
27       versioned,  but the server will not reject requests with an unsupported
28       version set.

31       Note: The default systemd unit  files  (system  and  user)  change  the
32       log-level  option  to  info from error. This change provides additional
33       information on each API call.

35

OPTIONS

37   --time, -t
38       The time until the session expires in seconds. The default  is  5  sec‐
39       onds.  A  value  of  0 means no timeout, therefore the session will not
40       expire.
41
42
43   --help, -h
44       Print usage statement.

EXAMPLES
