## NAME
podman\-system\-service - Run an API service
## SYNOPSIS
**podman system service** [*options*]
## DESCRIPTION
The **podman system service** command creates a listening service that will answer API calls for Podman. 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 rootful
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*)
To access the API service inside a container:
- mount the socket as a volume
- run the container with `--security-opt label:disable`
The REST API provided by **podman system service** is split into two parts: a compatibility layer offering support for the Docker v1.40 API, and a Podman-native Libpod layer.
Documentation for the latter is available at *https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html*.
Both APIs are versioned, but the server will not reject requests with an unsupported version set.
Note: The default systemd unit files (system and user) change the log-level option to *info* from *error*. This change provides additional information on each API call.
## OPTIONS
#### **\-\-time**, **-t**
The time until the session expires in _seconds_. The default is 5
seconds. A value of `0` means no timeout, therefore the session will not expire.
#### **\-\-help**, **-h**
Print usage statement.
## EXAMPLES
Run an API listening for 5 seconds using the default socket.
```
podman system service --time 5
```
