Podman on mac error : connect: no such file or directory

Question

Installed Podman for mac with brew

brew install podman

It's installed successfully, but then if you try to use it with something like

podman images

I get the following error

Error: Get "http://d/v2.0.0/libpod/_ping": dial unix ///var/folders/x2/j64rkhwn7gvghnmcz2h_nh080000gn/T/podman-run--1/podman/podman.sock: connect: no such file or directory

Cannot seem to find a solution in documentation, has anyone had the same issue and any solution?

Answer 1

In the Firewall pane of Security & Privacy preferences

• Allow "podman-remote" to accept incoming network connections, generally located /usr/local/bin/podman-remote
• Allow "gvproxy" to accept incoming network connections, generally located at /usr/local/Cellar/podman/$PODMAN_VERSION/libexec/gvproxy

Answer 2

You first need to run:

podman machine init
podman machine start
