# Podman Desktop support

Starting with Dangerzone 0.9.0, it is possible to use Podman Desktop on
Windows and macOS. The support for this container runtime is currently only
experimental. If you try it out and encounter issues, please reach to us, we'll
be glad to help.

With [Podman Desktop](https://podman-desktop.io/) installed on your machine,
here are the required steps to change the dangerzone container runtime.

You will be required to open a terminal and follow these steps:

## On macOS

To set the container runtime to podman, use this command:

```bash
/Applications/Dangerzone.app/Contents/MacOS/dangerzone-cli --set-container-runtime podman
```

In order to get back to the default behaviour (Docker Desktop on macOS), pass
the `default` value instead:

```bash
/Applications/Dangerzone.app/Contents/MacOS/dangerzone-cli --set-container-runtime default
```

## On Windows

To set the container runtime to podman, use this command:

```bash
'C:\Program Files\Dangerzone\dangerzone-cli.exe' --set-container-runtime podman
```

To revert back to the default behavior, pass the `default` value:

```bash
'C:\Program Files\Dangerzone\dangerzone-cli.exe' --set-container-runtime podman
```
