Public bug reported: When an LXC/LXD container is no longer needed, it should be frozen instead of shut down by the respective container manager.
This will make "start up" of the container much faster and will be particularly useful for LXD containers that take a very long time to start when fully stopped. Also of note, memory usage will remain the same since the frozen container will still reside in memory. Possibly making this a configuration option of a container will allow users who want to free memory when a container is not needed is necessary??? ** Affects: libertine Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: libertine/devel Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: libertine/trunk Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: libertine (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Tags: lxc lxd ** Also affects: libertine/devel Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libertine/trunk Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libertine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libertine/devel Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: libertine (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Description changed: When an LXC/LXD container is no longer needed, it should be frozen instead of shut down by the respective container manager. - This will make "start up" of the container much faster. + This will make "start up" of the container much faster and will be + particularly useful for LXD containers that take a very long time to + start when fully stopped. ** Changed in: libertine/devel Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libertine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libertine/devel Milestone: None => 1.6 ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Milestone: None => 1.6 ** Tags added: lxc lxd ** Description changed: When an LXC/LXD container is no longer needed, it should be frozen instead of shut down by the respective container manager.
