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 rootfull 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)

28       second. A value of 0 means no timeout and the session will not expire.
