containers...er-run-dir(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

containers-storage-get-container-run-dir — bestie, this finds the runtime lookaside directory for a container 🫶

It's a subcommand of containers-storage, living its best life in section 1 of the manual (General Commands Manual), and the page's own header and footer spell it out as containers...er-run-dir(1) 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage get-container-run-dir [options [...]]
containerNameOrID

so you call the subcommand, you can throw [options [...]] at it, and then you hand it a containerNameOrID. That's the whole vibe 🌈

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea. This command prints the location of a directory 📁 — and not just any directory, a directory that the caller (that's you, bb) can use to stash lookaside information in.

And the important part, the part that's giving responsible queen energy: that stuff is supposed to be cleaned up when the host is rebooted 🔄 So like, don't put your permanent little treasures in there, okay? It's a sleepover spot, not a storage unit. Runtime lookaside. Reboot = poof. Periodt. ✨

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

Want to see it in the wild? Say less:

containers-storage get-container-run-dir my-container

That's it. That's the whole thing. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 💖
