LXC.RESTORE(1)

💅 NAME 💅

Okay bestie, welcome to lxc-restore — it Restore instances from snapshots. That's it, that's the whole job. You're basically the undo button for your containers 😭✨

(This page lives under the manual name LXD - Command line client(1), iykyk 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc restore [:]  [flags]

That's the whole summoning ritual, no cap 🎀

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the <blue>Description:</blue> box literally says:

Restore instances from snapshots

And then there's the golden nugget: if you pass --stateful, then the running state will be restored too. That's the whole plot twist 🔥

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

One option. One little icon. Obsessed 🧚

• --stateful[=false] — Whether or not to restore the instance's running state from snapshot (if available). Note the (if available) bestie — it's not gonna materialise state out of thin air 💀

---

🦋 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🦋

These bad boys belong to the parent command, but they still show up to the party 👑

• --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages
• --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket
• -h, --help[=false] — Print help
• --project="" — Override the source project (and yes, the original page literally tacks two stray backticks on the end of this line — `` — and we are not touching it 💅)
• -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information
• --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages
• --version[=false] — Print version number

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

The whole workflow, start to finish, main character energy 🌟

  lxc snapshot u1 snap0
      Create the snapshot.

  lxc restore u1 snap0
      Restore the snapshot.

Snap it, then send it back in time. Time travel but make it containerised 🦋
