This is the implied default. -H --host= Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or a username and hostname separated by @, to connect to. The hostname may optionally be suffixed by a container name, separated by :, which connects directly to a specific container on the specified host. This will use SSH to talk to the remote machine manager instance. Container names may be enumerated with machinectl -H HOST. -M --machine= Execute operation on a local container. Specify a container name to connect to.
