CRIU is not so easy to be used as a standalone tool -- it works best integrated into other software. This page lists such software and provides details about the current status.

OpenVZ

Status: in progress

Currently, vzctl supports CRIU for checkpoint/restore of upstream containers (i.e. when non-OpenVZ kernel is used). Commands vzctl suspend and vzctl restore fully work. Live migration doesn't work yet as it requires support for vzctl suspend {--suspend, --dump, --kill, --restore} which is not yet implemented as it requires a separate daemon to hold the state of a partially checkpointed container (or an ability from criu tool to do that).

LXC/LXD

Status: ready

Docker

Status: in progress

CoreOS Rocket

Status: not started

OpenMPI

Status: stalled

  • Adrian Reber did first version of patches

Wayland/Weston

Status: under investigation

  • Ruslan Kuprieiev plans to patch Weston to let CRIU C/R graphical apps

The file utility

Status: not started

  • Need to reformat the images' header not to contain unique magic values and submit a patch to file tool to identify those.
