== Help Script ==
As seen in the above examples, the CRIU command line for checkpointing and
restoring a Docker container is pretty long. For restore, there is also
an additional step to set up the root filesystem before invoking CRIU.
To automate the C/R process, there is a helper script in the contrib
subdirectory of CRIU sources, called docker_cr.sh. In addition to
invoking CRIU, this helper script sets up the root filesystem for AUFS,
UnionFS, and VFS for restore.
With docker_cr.sh, all you have to provide is the container ID.
If you don't specify a container ID, docker_cr.sh will list all running
containers and prompt you to choose one. Also, as shown in the help
output below, by setting the appropriate environment variable, it's
possible to tell docker_cr.sh which Docker and CRIU binaries to use,
where Docker's home directory is, and where CRIU should save and look
for its image files.
<pre>
# docker_cr.sh --help
Usage:
docker_cr.sh -c|-r [-hv] [<container_id>]
-c, --checkpoint checkpoint container
-h, --help print help message
-r, --restore restore container
-v, --verbose enable verbose mode
Environment:
DOCKER_HOME (default /var/lib/docker)
CRIU_IMG_DIR (default /var/lib/docker/criu_img)
DOCKER_BINARY (default docker)
CRIU_BINARY (default criu)
</pre>
Below is an example to checkpoint and restore Docker container 4397:
<pre>
# docker_cr.sh -c 4397
dump successful
# docker_cr.sh -r 4397
restore successful
</pre>
Optionally, you can specify -v to see the commands that docker_cr.sh
executes. For example:
<pre>
# docker_cr.sh -c -v 40d3
