## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Checkpoint and Restore is an experimental feature that allows you to freeze a running
|
||||
container by checkpointing it, which turns its state into a collection of files
|
||||
on disk. Later, the container can be restored from the point it was frozen.

### Installing CRIU

If you use a Debian system, you can add the CRIU PPA and install with apt-get

[from the criu launchpad](https://launchpad.net/~criu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa).

Alternatively, you can [build CRIU from source](http://criu.org/Installation).

The options for checkpoint create:

```console

Usage: docker checkpoint create [OPTIONS] CONTAINER CHECKPOINT
|
||||
|
||||
Create a checkpoint from a running container
|
||||
|

--leave-running=false Leave the container running after checkpoint
|

--checkpoint-dir Use a custom checkpoint storage directory

```

Example of using checkpoint & restore on a container:

A simple example of using checkpoint & restore on a container:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker run --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined --name cr -d busybox /bin/sh -c 'i=0; while true; do echo $i; i=$(expr $i + 1); sleep 1; done'

$ docker checkpoint create cr checkpoint1

$ docker start --checkpoint checkpoint1 cr
|
||||
> abc0123

abc0123
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
This process just logs an incrementing counter to stdout. If you `docker logs`
|
||||
in between running/checkpoint/restoring you should see that the counter
|
||||
increases while the process is running, stops while it's checkpointed, and
|
||||
resumes from the point it left off once you restore.
