* Add support for checkpoint imageRadostin Stoyanov2022-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an enhancement proposal for the checkpoint / restore feature of Podman that enables container migration across multiple systems with standard image distribution infrastructure. A new option `--create-image <image>` has been added to the `podman container checkpoint` command. This option tells Podman to create a container image. This is a standard image with a single layer, tar archive, that that contains all checkpoint files. This is similar to the current approach with checkpoint `--export`/`--import`. This image can be pushed to a container registry and pulled on a different system. It can also be exported locally with `podman image save` and inspected with `podman inspect`. Inspecting the image would display additional information about the host and the versions of Podman, criu, crun/runc, kernel, etc. `podman container restore` has also been extended to support image name or ID as input.

* man pages: sort flags, and keep them that wayEd Santiago2022-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Command flags (OPTIONS) in man pages have to date been in haphazard order. Sometimes that order is sensible, e.g., most-important options first, but more often they're just in arbitrary places. This makes life hard for users. Here, I update the man-page-check Makefile script so it checks and enforces alphabetical order in OPTIONS sections. Then -- the hard part -- update all existing man pages to conform to this requirement. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

* [CI:DOCS] Small checkpoint/restore man page fixesAdrian Reber2021-12-20
| | | | | | | | | At some places the checkpoint restore man pages were using the markdown modifier `**` inside `*..*`. This does not seem to work as intended and results in markdown modifiers present in the final man page. Switching to `__` inside of `*..*` seems to fix this.

* Use same runtime to restore a container as during checkpointingAdrian Reber2021-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are at least two runtimes that support checkpoint and restore: runc and crun. Although the checkpoints created by these are almost compatible, it is not (yet) possible to restore a checkpoint created with one runtime with the other runtime. To make checkpoint/restore usage more comfortable this adds code to look into the checkpoint archive during restore and to set the runtime to the one used during checkpointing. This also adds a check, if the user explicitly sets a runtime during restore, that the runtime is also the same as used during checkpointing. If a different runtime is selected than the one used during checkpointing the restore will fail early. If runc and crun will create compatible checkpoints in the future the check can be changed to treat crun and runc as compatible checkpoint/restore runtimes.

* Add --file-locks checkpoint/restore optionRadostin Stoyanov2021-11-18
| | | | | | | | CRIU supports checkpoint/restore of file locks. This feature is required to checkpoint/restore containers running applications such as MySQL. Signed-off-by: Radostin Stoyanov <radostin@redhat.com>
* remote checkpoint/restore: more fixesValentin Rothberg2021-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Support `checkpoint --pre-checkpoint` * Support `checkpoint --with-previous` * Disable `restore --import-previous` for the remote client since we had to send two files which in turn would require to tar them up and hence be a breaking change. Podman 4.0 would be the chance and I hope we'll find time before that to remote-restore prettier. Note that I did not run over swagger yet to check whether all parameters are actually documented due to time constraints. Fixes: #12334 Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <rothberg@redhat.com>

* Support checkpoint/restore with podsAdrian Reber2021-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support to checkpoint containers out of pods and restore container into pods. It is only possible to restore a container into a pod if it has been checkpointed out of pod. It is also not possible to restore a non pod container into a pod. The main reason this does not work is the PID namespace. If a non pod container is being restored in a pod with a shared PID namespace, at least one process in the restored container uses PID 1 which is already in use by the infrastructure container. If someone tries to restore container from a pod with a shared PID namespace without a shared PID namespace it will also fail because the resulting PID namespace will not have a PID 1.

* Revert escaped double dash man page flag syntaxPaul Holzinger2021-05-07
| | | | | | | | Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the dashes is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>
* Fix long option format on docs.podman.ioPaul Holzinger2021-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash. I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github and with the man pages. This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally. Assuming you have the dependencies installed you can do: ``` cd docs make html ``` Preview the html files in docs/build/html with `python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html`.

* Include named volumes in container migrationRadostin Stoyanov2021-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When migrating a container with associated volumes, the content of these volumes should be made available on the destination machine. This patch enables container checkpoint/restore with named volumes by including the content of volumes in checkpoint file. On restore, volumes associated with container are created and their content is restored. The --ignore-volumes option is introduced to disable this feature. Example: # podman container checkpoint --export checkpoint.tar.gz <container> The content of all volumes associated with the container are included in `checkpoint.tar.gz` # podman container checkpoint --export checkpoint.tar.gz --ignore-volumes <container> The content of volumes is not included in `checkpoint.tar.gz`. This is useful, for example, when the checkpoint/restore is performed on the same machine. # podman container restore --import checkpoint.tar.gz The associated volumes will be created and their content will be restored. Podman will exit with an error if volumes with the same name already exist on the system or the content of volumes is not included in checkpoint.tar.gz # podman container restore --ignore-volumes --import checkpoint.tar.gz Volumes associated with container must already exist. Podman will not create them or restore their content. Signed-off-by: Radostin Stoyanov <rstoyanov@fedoraproject.org>
* Add anchors for flag names on docs.podman.ioPaul Holzinger2020-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | Change the docs markdown so that flag names will be h4 headers. Sphinx will automatically add anchors to headers. Add css to make sure the flag names are not to big compared to the text. The man pages also still renders fine but it looks a bit different. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>
* man pages: fix inconsistenciesEd Santiago2020-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I wrote a script to cross-reference podman --help against man pages. It found a bunch of inconsistencies fix them: * options missing from man pages * options misspelled or misformatted in man pages (usually misplaced asterisks or missing dashes, but see --dns-opt) * one spurious comma in the actual source file --help This is a fix in which I iterate over 'podman CMD --help' and check for presence in man pages. The other way around (look for flags in man pages, check podman CMD --help) is probably impossible: there are too many special cases Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>
