If you would like podman-machine to start at boot, then using podman-desktop would be the route to go.

Podman runs as a service under systemd, so systemd starts podman.  If
you question is how does Podman start containers that are autostarted at
boot, then podman has a a podman-restart.service which systemd
automatcially starts, and this service looks at the podman database and
starts any autostart services.


/usr/lib/systemd/system/podman-restart.service
/usr/lib/systemd/user/podman-restart.service

If you are asking about podman-machine, then someone else will need to
answer that question.
