How to manually enable Rosetta on a Podman machine

This is a temporary solution until the feature is implemented in Podman v5.

Warning

This solution only work Podman machine v4.

Step

0. export CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER=applehv
1. podman machine init
2. Add settings for rosetta in podman-machine-default.json

% vi ~/.config/containers/podman/machine/applehv/podman-machine-default.json

Add the following code in "devices": []

    {
     "kind": "rosetta",
     "MountTag": "rosetta",
     "InstallRosetta": true
    }

3. podman machine start
4. podman machine os apply quay.io/tnk4on/rosetta --restart
5. After the Podman machine restart is complete, you can run containers with rosetta

% podman machine ssh sudo cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/rosetta
enabled
interpreter /mnt/rosetta/rosetta
flags: F
offset 0
magic 7f454c4602010100000000000000000002003e00
mask fffffffffffefe00fffffffffffffffffeffffff

% podman run --rm --arch amd64 ubi9 uname -m
