+## MacOS
+
+Currently, in MacOS the autodetection of podman does not work as intended, which leads to Ryuk failing at boot-up.
+In order to use Testcontainers then either
+1. Disable Ryuk (not recommended): see [here](../features/garbage_collector.md#ryuk)
+2. If you want to use Ryuk then you need
+   1. Run podman in rootful mode by running the following commands
+      ```bash
+        podman machine stop
+        podman machine set --rootful
+        podman machine start 
+      ```
+   2. Add 
+         ```
+         ryuk.container.privileged=true
+         ``` 
+      to `~/.testcontainers.properties`
+   3. Use the `WithProvider` option when running your containers
+        ```go
+        package some_test
+
+        import (
+            "testing"
+
+            tc "github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-go"
