💖 CONTAINER-REBUILD 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is container-rebuild(1) from the General Commands Manual and it is so much simpler than it sounds. it lives in the compute-tools family, and it does exactly one gorgeous thing: it restarts a container. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

container-rebuild — Restart a container 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

container rebuild ['OPTIONS']
cnt rb ['OPTIONS']

two ways in, same destination, no notes. container rebuild is the long form and cnt rb is the little nickname you use when you're typing fast and your nails are too long. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea: the container rebuild command rebuilds a container by stopping, building, starting an existing container. stop → build → start. it's giving glow-up. it's giving makeover montage. your container goes down, gets rebuilt, and comes back up like nothing happened (except everything happened, and it's better now). 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

here are the container rebuild options you've got, and yes, there are exactly three, we love a short list:

  • -n, --name='NAME' — specify the container name. and listen, plot twist: if you set it to 'ALL' it will rebuild all started container. (yes, all of them. at once. iconic behaviour honestly.)
  • -f, --force — do not fail if container is running. she's allowed to be mid-zoom-call, you just barge in anyway. 🚪
  • -v, --verbose — explain what is being done. for the girlies who need the play-by-play commentary, not just the final score. 🎙️

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Rebuild example.net container:

sudo container rebuild -n example.net

Restart all container:

sudo container rebuild -n ALL
note the sudo, bestie. you're not doing this one as a regular little user, you're doing it with power. 💀
