## NAME
 | 
						|
podman\-machine\-ssh - SSH into a virtual machine
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
**podman machine ssh** [*options*] [*name*] [*command* [*arg* ...]]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSH into a Podman-managed virtual machine and optionally execute a command
 | 
						|
on the virtual machine. Unless using the default virtual machine, the
 | 
						|
first argument must be the virtual machine name. The optional command to
 | 
						|
execute can then follow. If no command is provided, an interactive session
 | 
						|
with the virtual machine is established.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The exit code from ssh command will be forwarded to the podman machine ssh caller, see [Exit Codes](#Exit-Codes).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Rootless only.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### **--help**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Print usage statement.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### **--username**=*name*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Username to use when SSH-ing into the VM.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Exit Codes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The exit code from `podman machine ssh` gives information about why the command failed.
 | 
						|
When `podman machine ssh` commands exit with a non-zero code,
 | 
						|
the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  **125** The error is with podman **_itself_**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ podman machine ssh --foo; echo $?
 | 
						|
    Error: unknown flag: --foo
 | 
						|
    125
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  **126** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be invoked
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ podman machine ssh /etc; echo $?
 | 
						|
    Error: fork/exec /etc: permission denied
 | 
						|
    126
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  **127** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be found
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ podman machine ssh foo; echo $?
 | 
						|
    Error: fork/exec /usr/bin/bogus: no such file or directory
 | 
						|
    127
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  **Exit code** _contained command_ exit code
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ podman machine ssh /bin/sh -c 'exit 3'; echo $?
 | 
						|
    3
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## EXAMPLES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To get an interactive session with the default virtual machine:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ podman machine ssh
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To get an interactive session with a VM called `myvm`:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ podman machine ssh myvm
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To run a command on the default virtual machine:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ podman machine ssh rpm -q podman
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To run a command on a VM called `myvm`:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ podman machine ssh  myvm rpm -q podman
 | 
						|
```
