__NOTOC__
<big>Welcome to CRIU, a project to implement checkpoint/restore functionality for Linux.
Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace, or CRIU (pronounced kree-oo, IPA: /krɪʊ/, Russian: криу), is a Linux software. It can freeze a running container (or an individual application) and checkpoint its state to disk. The data saved can be used to restore the application and run it exactly as it was during the time of the freeze. Using this functionality, application or container live migration, snapshots, remote debugging, and [[usage scenarios|many other things]] are now possible.
CRIU started as a project of Virtuozzo, and grew with the tremendous help from the [[community]]. It is currently used by (integrated into) OpenVZ, [[LXC]]/LXD, [[Docker]], Podman, and [[Integration|other software]], and [[packages|packaged for many Linux distributions]].

== Using ==
<big>
;Getting [[packages]] for your distribution
: Or try manual [[installation]] to have CRIU on your system
</big>
;[[CLI]], [[RPC]] and [[C API]]
: Three ways to start using the C/R functionality. [[:Category:API|More info]] about APIs.
;[[Usage scenarios]]
: Ideas how criu can be used (some are crazy indeed)
;[[:Category:HOWTO]]
: Collection of real world examples of how to use CRIU. Some are complex, some are not. HOW TO dump a [[simple loop]] might be the best one to start with. Also a set of [[asciinema]] records for real-life examples.
;[[FAQ]] & [[When C/R fails]]
: A sort of troubleshooting guide
;[[What can change after C/R]]
: CRIU cannot (yet) save and restore every single bit of tasks' state. This page describes what bits visible through standard kernel API are such.
;[[What cannot be checkpointed]]
: What an application could do to make CRIU refuse to dump it.
;[[Contacts]]
: Ways to communicate with CRIU community
