Podman Machine (v5) does not allow URL or file path anymore, it now requires a bootable image.

• https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues/7273

Something like this (not an URL):

quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.1

EDIT: You can also use registry

I don't think it is wrong, just not updated? Now it uses podman machine os apply instead.

But it could be that docker:// URL and OCI image filepath are still allowed, with the new OS? Just that if updating the input field, it also needs to allow a plain registry-style image name.

EDIT: This still works: --image docker://quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.1 (though not HTTP)
