[benoitf]

Issue Description

if you have podman v4 installed on macOS for example the latest 4.9.4

if you create a podman machine, it'll fetch a machine that is not compliant with your current podman CLI version

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. install podman 4.9.4
2. do podman machine init
3. run a container like podman run httpd

Describe the results you received

[benoitf]

a current workaround is to do podman machine init --image-path stable podman-machine-default as it fetches FCOS 39 rather than FCOS 40 (or upgrade to podman v5)

[Luap99]

v4 is no longer supported by us, we just pull FCOS so there is no way for us to fix this in a meaningful way.

That is why v5 uses the new approach to match client and server by default so this should not be a issue for future bumps.

I believe that we at least should notify users about this problem and outline a way out if they want to stay on v4 until moving out to v5. Atm, it stops working without any action from their side.

[baude]

We have no control of the FCOS images in v4. There is nothing that can be done to prevent this. This is why it is different for v5. v4 is no longer supported as was said.
