in the case of the remote-client, it was decided to hide the latest
flag to avoid confusion for end-users on what the "last" container,
volume, or pod are.

NAME

podman-container-restore - Restores one or more running containers

SYNOPSIS

podman container restore [options] container ...

DESCRIPTION

Restores a container from a checkpoint. You may use container IDs or names as input.

OPTIONS

-k, --keep

Keep all temporary log and statistics files created by CRIU during checkpointing as well as restoring. These files are not deleted if restoring fails for further debugging. If restoring succeeds these files are theoretically not needed, but if these files are needed Podman can keep the files for further analysis. This includes the checkpoint directory with all files created during checkpointing. The size required by the checkpoint directory is roughly the same as the amount of memory required by the processes in the checkpointed container.

Without the -k, --keep option the checkpoint will be consumed and cannot be used again.

--all, -a

Restore all checkpointed containers.

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the container name or ID, restore the last created container.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

--tcp-established

Restore a container with established TCP connections. If the checkpoint image contains established TCP connections, this option is required during restore. If the checkpoint image does not contain established TCP connections this option is ignored. Defaults to not restoring containers with established TCP connections.

EXAMPLE

podman container restore mywebserver

podman container restore 860a4b23
