💖 podman-pod-start(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of your pods ✨ this is the podman-pod-start page from the General Commands Manual, and we're about to wake up entire pods like it's the first day of school 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-pod-start — start one or more pods 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

podman pod start [options] pod ...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what are we actually doing here? We're starting the containers inside one or more pods, periodt 💅 You can hand it pod IDs or pod names as input, whichever you vibe with.

⚠️ heads up though — the pod has to actually have a container attached to it to be started. No container, no start. That's just the rules, bestie 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --all, -a — starts, like, all the pods. every single one. go off 👑
• --latest, -l — instead of passing a pod name or ID, this one just grabs the last created pod for you. so convenient, so iconic ✨

📝 note: the last started pod can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. iykyk. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines) 😭

• --pod-id-file=file — read the pod ID from the file you specify and start that pod. and yes, you can specify this multiple times, no cap 💖

podman pod start mywebserverpod
