You may +optionally provide an endpoint for the API in URI form. For example, *unix://tmp/foobar.sock* or *tcp:localhost:8080*. +If no endpoint is provided, defaults will be used. The default endpoint for a rootfull +service is *unix:/run/podman/podman.sock* and rootless is *unix:/$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock* (for +example *unix:/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock*) + +## OPTIONS + +**--timeout**, **-t** + +The time until the session expires in _milliseconds_. The default is 1 +second. A value of `0` means no timeout and the session will not expire. + +**--varlink** + +Use the varlink protocol instead of the REST-based protocol. This option will be deprecated in the future. + +**--help**, **-h** + +Print usage statement. + +## EXAMPLES + +Run an API listening for 5 seconds using the default socket. +``` +podman service --timeout 5000 +``` + +Run the podman varlink service with an alternate URI and accept the default timeout. +``` +$ podman service --varlink unix:/tmp/io.podman +``` + +## SEE ALSO +podman(1), podman-varlink(1) + +## HISTORY +January 2020, Originally compiled by Brent Baude<bbaude@redhat.com> |
