pull shows no progress

[crowne]

I have an issue when I run a pull command and it looks like it hangs with no progress or feedback given.
Should I raise this as a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

However if I ssh into the podman machine and run the pull command then I can see that it is doing work and
shows download progress feedback.

• podman pull doesn't show progress bars on MacOS #15714

You can use a docker client if you want progress, like Podman Desktop does
