From ea68f178e062092ee720c5f293e6b551dabf8c44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel J Walsh Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2021 11:11:56 -0500 Subject: Improve error message when the the podman service is not enabled Currently if server is not connected, we return an error message that is confusing users on Mac and Windows boxes. The hope here is to make it a little easier to discover that a Podman service is required. This message is similar to what Docker puts out so people might under stand it better.
