SYNOPSIS

11       podman container checkpoint [options] container ...
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Checkpoints all the processes in one or more containers.  You  may  use
16       container IDs or names as input.

18

OPTIONS

20       --keep, -k
21
22
23       Keep  all  temporary  log  and  statistics files created by CRIU during
24       checkpointing. These files are not deleted if checkpointing  fails  for
25       further  debugging. If checkpointing succeeds these files are theoreti‐
26       cally not needed, but if these files are needed  Podman  can  keep  the
27       files for further analysis.
28
29
30       --all, -a
31
32
33       Checkpoint all running containers.
34
35
36       --latest, -l
37
38
39       Instead of providing the container name or ID, checkpoint the last cre‐
40       ated container.
41
42
43       The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
44
45
46       --leave-running, -R
47
48
49       Leave the container running after checkpointing instead of stopping it.
50
51
52       --tcp-established
53
54
55       Checkpoint a container with established TCP connections. If the  check‐
56       point  image  contains  established  TCP  connections,  this options is
57       required during restore. Defaults to not checkpointing containers  with
58       established TCP connections.
59
60
61       --export, -e
62
63
64       Export  the checkpoint to a tar.gz file. The exported checkpoint can be
65       used to import the container on another system and thus  enabling  con‐
66       tainer  live  migration.  This  checkpoint  archive  also  includes all
67       changes to the container's root file-system, if not explicitly disabled
68       using --ignore-rootfs
69
70
71       --ignore-rootfs
72
73
74       This  only  works  in combination with --export, -e. If a checkpoint is
75       exported  to  a  tar.gz  file  it  is  possible  with   the   help   of
76       --ignore-rootfs  to  explicitly  disable  including changes to the root
77       file-system into the checkpoint archive file.
