When migrating a container with associated volumes, the content of these volumes should be made available on the destination machine. This patch enables container checkpoint/restore with named volumes by including the content of volumes in checkpoint file. On restore, volumes associated with container are created and their content is restored. The --ignore-volumes option is introduced to disable this feature. Example: # podman container checkpoint --export checkpoint.tar.gz <container> The content of all volumes associated with the container are included in `checkpoint.tar.gz` # podman container checkpoint --export checkpoint.tar.gz --ignore-volumes <container> The content of volumes is not included in `checkpoint.tar.gz`. This is useful, for example, when the checkpoint/restore is performed on the same machine. # podman container restore --import checkpoint.tar.gz The associated volumes will be created and their content will be restored. Podman will exit with an error if volumes with the same name already exist on the system or the content of volumes is not included in checkpoint.tar.gz # podman container restore --ignore-volumes --import checkpoint.tar.gz Volumes associated with container must already exist. Podman will not create them or restore their content. Signed-off-by: Radostin Stoyanov <rstoyanov@fedoraproject.org>

API Reference
The latest online documentation is
automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream
source code. Firstly, the Cirrus-CI docs task builds
pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket -
an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs
reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation
site. This site includes for the API section,
some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google
Storage Bucket.
Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:
If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is
likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting
style attacks. Please notify a maintainer
so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is
incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.
