✨ NAME ✨

apptainer-checkpoint-create — Create empty checkpoint storage (experimental)

⚠️ Yes, the original really does tag this one (experimental) right in the NAME line. Not me making it up, fr fr.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

apptainer checkpoint create

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The checkpoint create command will initialize a location to store checkpoint data once used by a container.

So it’s literally the prep step: it sets up the spot where checkpoint data gets stashed once a container has used it.

• -h, --help[=false] — help for create

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

To create an initially empty checkpoint:

$ apptainer checkpoint create example-checkpoint

Look at that little empty checkpoint being born. Iconic.
