✨ lxc-unfreeze(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the lxc-unfreeze page from the lxc-unfreeze(1) manual — yes we're doing the whole thing, and yes it's gonna be a vibe 💅

---

🧊 NAME 🧊

lxc-unfreeze — thaws out all the container's processes. like, un-pauses the whole squad at once. periodt.

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

lxc-unfreeze {-n name}

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically lxc-unfreeze will thaw all the processes that were previously frozen by the lxc-freeze command. that's it. that's the whole flex. your container was on ice 🧊 and now it's back, main character energy restored 💖

---

👑 COMMON OPTIONS 👑

these options are common to most of the lxc commands — like, the shared group-chat of flags, iykyk ✨

• -?, -h, --help — prints a longer usage message than normal. normal usage message found crying in a corner 😭
• --usage — gives the usage message. just. the usage message. simple as that 🎀
• -q, --quiet — mute on 🔇 (yes, literally "mute on", that's the official energy)
• *-P, --lxcpath=PATH* — use an alternate container path. the default is /var/lib/lxc.
• *-o, --logfile=FILE* — output to an alternate log FILE. the default is no log. ngl, no log is the default vibe 🙈
• *-l, --logpriority=LEVEL* — set log priority to LEVEL. the default log priority is ERROR. possible values are: FATAL, ALERT, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE. 🔥

⚠️ heads up bestie: this option sets the priority of the events log in the alternate log file. it does not have any effect on the ERROR events log on stderr. so don't come for stderr, it's not invited to this party 💀

• -n, --name=NAME — use container identifier NAME. the container identifier format is an **alphanumeric string ⭐
• *--rcfile=FILE* — specify the configuration file that configures the virtualization and isolation functionalities for the container. 🧚

and listen: this configuration file, if present, will be used even if there's already a configuration file present in the previously created container (via lxc-create). so like, it wins. it's the main character config 💅

• --version — show the version number. 🎀

---

💀 DIAGNOSTIC 💀

• The container was not found — the specified container was never created before with the lxc-create command. like, it doesn't exist. there's nothing to thaw. girl where is she 😭
