needrestart - container support =============================== If needrestart has found a process using obsolete binaries it checks if the process is part of a container. If the process is part of a container it might not be possible to restart it using Sys-V/systemd. There are special packages (NeedRestart::CONT::*) implementing the container detection and restarting. NeedRestart::CONT::docker ------------------------- Recognized by: cgroup path (`/system.slice/docker-*.scope` || `/docker/*`) Docker containers are ignored (needrestart 2.12+) since there are no updates within docker containers by design. NeedRestart::CONT::LXC ---------------------- Recognized by: cgroup path (`/lxc/*` || `/lxc.payload/*`) For each container which should be restarted needrestart calls `lxc-stop --reboot --name $NAME`. This package also supports LXD containers, which are restarted by `lxc restart $NAME` or `lxc restart --project=$PROJECT $NAME` for containers in projects. NeedRestart::CONT::machined --------------------------- Recognized by: cgroup path (`/machine.slice/machine-*.scope`) For each container which should be restarted needrestart calls `machinectl reboot $NAME`.
