--all,-a
Restore all checkpointed containers.
The default is false.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONdoesnotneedacontainernameorIDasinputargument.--file-locks
Restore a container with file locks. This option is required to restore file locks from a checkpoint
image. If the checkpoint image does not contain file locks, this option is ignored. Defaults to not
restoring file locks.
The default is false.
--ignore-rootfs
If a container is restored from a checkpoint tar.gz file it is possible that it also contains all root
file-system changes. With --ignore-rootfs it is possible to explicitly disable applying these root file-
system changes to the restored container.
The default is false.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONisonlyavailableincombinationwith--import,-i.--ignore-static-ip
If the container was started with --ip the restored container also tries to use that IP address and
restore fails if that IP address is already in use. This can happen, if a container is restored multiple
times from an exported checkpoint with --name,-n.
Using --ignore-static-ip tells Podman to ignore the IP address if it was configured with --ip during
container creation.
The default is false.
--ignore-static-mac
If the container was started with --mac-address the restored container also tries to use that MAC address
and restore fails if that MAC address is already in use. This can happen, if a container is restored
multiple times from an exported checkpoint with --name,-n.
Using --ignore-static-mac tells Podman to ignore the MAC address if it was configured with --mac-address
during container creation.
The default is false.
--ignore-volumes
This option must be used in combination with the --import,-i option. When restoring containers from a
checkpoint tar.gz file with this option, the content of associated volumes are not restored.
The default is false.
--import,-i=file
Import a checkpoint tar.gz file, which was exported by Podman. This can be used to import a checkpointed
container from another host.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONdoesnotneedacontainernameorIDasinputargument.
During the import of a checkpoint file Podman selects the same container runtime which was used during
checkpointing. This is especially important if a specific (non-default) container runtime was specified
during container creation. Podman also aborts the restore if the container runtime specified during
restore does not much the container runtime used for container creation.
--import-previous=file
Import a pre-checkpoint tar.gz file which was exported by Podman. This option must be used with -i or
--import. It only works on runc1.0-rc3 or higher. IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONisnotsupportedontheremoteclient,includingMacandWindows(excludingWSL2)machines.--keep,-k
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 --keep, -k option, the checkpoint is consumed and cannot be used again.
The default is false.
--latest,-l
Instead of providing the containerID or name, use the last created container. The default is false.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONisnotavailablewiththeremotePodmanclient,includingMacandWindows(excludingWSL2)machines.ThisOPTIONdoesnotneedacontainernameorIDasinputargument.--name,-n=name
If a container is restored from a checkpoint tar.gz file it is possible to rename it with --name,-n.
This way it is possible to restore a container from a checkpoint multiple times with different names.
If the --name,-n option is used, Podman does not attempt to assign the same IP address to the container
it was using before checkpointing as each IP address can only be used once, and the restored container
has another IP address. This also means that --name,-n cannot be used in combination with --tcp-established.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONisonlyavailableforacheckpointimageorincombinationwith--import,-i.--pod=name
Restore a container into the pod name. The destination pod for this restore has to have the same
namespaces shared as the pod this container was checkpointed from (see **podman pod create --share.
IMPORTANT:ThisOPTIONisonlyavailableforacheckpointimageorincombinationwith--import,-i.
This option requires at least CRIU 3.16.
--print-stats
Print out statistics about restoring the container(s). The output is rendered in a JSON array and
contains information about how much time different restore operations required. Many of the restore
statistics are created by CRIU and just passed through to Podman. The following information is provided
in the JSON array:
• podman_restore_duration: Overall time (in microseconds) needed to restore all checkpoints.
• runtime_restore_duration: Time (in microseconds) the container runtime needed to restore the
checkpoint.
• forking_time: Time (in microseconds) CRIU needed to create (fork) all processes in the restored
container (measured by CRIU).
• restore_time: Time (in microseconds) CRIU needed to restore all processes in the container
(measured by CRIU).
• pages_restored: Number of memory pages restored (measured by CRIU).
The default is false.
--publish,-p=port
Replaces the ports that the container publishes, as configured during the initial container start, with a
new set of port forwarding rules.
For more details, see podmanrun--publish.
--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.
The default is false.
