From fa3b8a75c4ec571f8cbb2622ea624b42bc5c2472 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Rothberg Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 16:26:24 +0200 Subject: {create,run} --replace Add a `--replace` flag to the `container {create,run}` commands. If another container with the same name already exists, it will be replaced and removed. Adding this flag is motivated by #5485 to make running Podman in systemd units (or any other scripts/automation) more robust. In case of a crash, a container may not be removed by a sytemd unit anymore. The `--replace` flag allows for supporting crashes.
