@a-reznic Hello, thank you for opening the issue. After a fresh installation using brew, I was not able to reproduce the problem. Could you please send the logs you get when starting the app? You can find them at:~/Library/Logs/Podman\ Desktop/*.log. Alternatively, you can open the developer console.

No logs on this path ~/Library/Logs/Podman\ Desktop

I found problem

podman machine init Error: mkdir /Users/user/.local/share/containers: permission denied

ls -ld /Users/user/.local ls -ld /Users/user/.local/share

drwxr-xr-x@ 4 root staff 128 Jan 8 2025 /Users/user/.local drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root staff 96 Jan 8 2025 /Users/user/.local/share

After I granted permissions to my user - Desktop started

sudo chown -R user:staff /Users/user/.local

make dir mkdir -p ~/.local/share/containers

Maybe need permission check on start?

Hello @a-reznic! Would you mind sharing a reason why your /Users/user/.local had limited permissions? By default it should be writable but maybe there are scenarios where this directory had been restricted? Anyways, I agree on that it should not end up in a stuck state and should report meaningful message.

I don't know why it was restricted :)
