Additional information

manually install podman 5.7.1 with podman-machine-os 5.8.1, everything is ok.

[Honny1]

I wasn't able to reproduce this error on version 5.8.1. Could you provide more information? Also, please keep in mind that we don’t officially support Homebrew.

$ podman machine start test
Starting machine "test"

This machine is currently configured in rootless mode. If your containers
require root permissions (e.g. ports < 1024), or if you run into compatibility
issues with non-podman clients, you can switch using the following command:

	podman machine set --rootful test

API forwarding listening on: /var/run/docker.sock
Docker API clients default to this address. You do not need to set DOCKER_HOST.

I have reset all machines with homebrew version podman. And then removed podman podman-compose installed with homebrew. Remove ~/.config/containers. Just reset everything, then try official releases.

podman machine reset
brew uninstall podman podman-machine
rm -rf ~/.config/containers

Macbook Pro 14 2021, m1pro, Sequoia 15.7.4

OS Image: https://github.com/containers/podman-machine-os/releases/download/v5.8.1/podman-machine.aarch64.applehv.raw.zst, save to ~/Downloads/podman-machine.aarch64.applehv.raw.zst

In summary:

1. podman 5.7.1 new machine => ok
2. podman 5.8.1 with 5.7.1 machine => err
3. podman 5.8.1 with new machine => err
4. podman 5.7.1 with 5.8.1 machine (the first start) => err
5. podman 5.7.1 with 5.8.1 machine (next starts) => ok

ReRun podman 5.7.1

1. stop the machine, remove every installed 5.8.1 thing with UninstallPKG. machine was kept (created by 5.8.1)
2. start the machine the first time, error too. restart the machine, it's ok

# admin @ MacBookPro in ~ [20:23:56] 
$ podman -v

core@localhost:~$ echo $NO_PROXY

core@localhost:~$ cat /etc/profile.d/default-env.sh 
export NO_PROXY=host.containers.internal\,\ host.containers.internal\,\ ::1
core@localhost:~$ exit
logout

So I guess there maybe something to do with 5.8

[Honny1]

Well, what's your $NO_PROXY value on the host? That’s the main missing piece here.

[Honny1]

The issue lies in the content of NO_PROXY. Based on this issue and the GNU documentation, the variable should contain a comma-separated list, not a comma-plus-space-separated list.

Here are the steps I did with podman v5.8.1.

export NO_PROXY="host.containers.internal,host.containers.internal,::1"
$ podman machine init test2

	podman machine start test2

$ podman machine start test2

This machine is currently configured in rootless mode. If your containers
require root permissions (e.g. ports < 1024), or if you run into compatibility
issues with non-podman clients, you can switch using the following command:

	podman machine set --rootful test2
