restart action
The purpose of the restart action is to stop and directly restart an Exegol container.
If these containers have a privileged or device configuration, restarting the container will refresh the available devices inside the container.
Restarting a container will reset the hosts, resolv.conf files (and probably more).
Options
The options of the restart action are limited to selecting the container to be restarted and some starting options that can be also found on the start action.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
CONTAINER | Tag used to target the Exegol containers to restart |
Sentinel
The --sentinel-refresh option forces a regeneration of the container's deployed Sentinel configuration from the host's profile sources at restart, even for a container whose update strategy is disabled. It is deliberately distinct from -F/--force, which is about the container itself and not about its Sentinel configuration. It does not fetch anything from a remote source either: downloading and updating the profile sources themselves is the job of exegol update.
See the Sentinel configuration for the update strategy values, and Sources and updates for how the profile sources are fetched.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--sentinel-refresh | Force a Sentinel profile configuration refresh from host sources at restart, even for containers whose update strategy is disabled |
