The podman-remote.conf file is the default configuration file for the podman remote client. It is in the TOML format. It is primarily used to keep track of the user's remote connections. ## CONNECTION OPTIONS **destination** = "" The hostname or IP address of the remote system **username** = "" The username to use when connecting to the remote system **default** = bool Denotes whether the connection is the default connection for the user.
