Multipass should have a restart command next to start and stop #217

Sounds fine, yeah. In its absence you can always do:
|
|
Doing a stop/start in our scripts right now. But yeah, exec would reduce that to a single line ;-)
|
|
I could do this |

@pekof great, looking forward to your PR! |
|
Hi, I actually started working on this a couple of days ago. @pekof only now did I notice you had proposed doing the same thing, sorry about that. |
|
@pekof again, I'm sorry about this, I did not announce I was working on the issue because I wanted to be sure I reached a solution prior to that. The issue was dormant for so long, I did not expect someone else to want to do the same, but I suppose it is a natural starter's choice. Anyway, I wanted to assure you I did not see your comment here and apologize for any inconvenience. |

@ricab that was my first idea was to issue stop and start from client. |
|
Hi @pekof, I see your point, but limiting changes to the client minimizes complexity by maximizing code reuse. By approaching restart as a pure combination of existing server functionality we can keep the server interface "as simple as possible, but no simpler". True, a client-contained restart lacks the transactional character, but that did not seem like a requirement for this issue. I am not sure how important it would be. But there is a benefit in having one command less to support in the server from now on. |
|
Hi @pekof, are you still working toward a server-side solution? If so, I will leave it to you. Otherwise, please let me know. |
|
@ricab I'm getting familiar with daemon side. |
|
Alright, sounds good. I'll have a look into this later on. |
551: Release 2018.12.1 r=townsend2010 a=Saviq ### Highlights - On Linux, suspending/resuming the instance to/from disk is now supported. (#374) - Better handling of delayed shutdown including posting `wall` messages to logged in users and allowing log ins to the instance unless 1 minute or less remains until shutdown. (#461, #50) - On Linux, all CPU flags should be passed into the running instance on newly created instances. (#516) - Fixed some races around mount handling. (#514, #520) ### Bugs fixed: - make the recover command idempotent (#528) - explicitly stop mounts when deleting an instance to avoid a race (#520) - be smarter about what group owns the multipass socket (#513, #523) - pass through all CPU flags when launching QEMU or libvirt instances (#516) - use `info` log level for metrics issues (#515) - fix potential race when starting a mount (#514) - use `wall` shutdown messages for users logged into VM when delayed shutdown is initiated (#501) - fix crash if exception during daemon start up (#487) - refactor CLI code (#468) - add default uid/gid mapping (#331) - fix file metadata passthrough - display uid/gid maps in info command (#439) - add support for the suspend command (#374) - shell to machine in delayed stop state (#461) - improve uid/gid validation (#479) - avoid leaking the libvirt bridge (#327, #413) - add a restart command (#217) - upgrade 3rd-party versions (#471) Co-authored-by: bors[bot] <bors[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
At times you really just want to restart a machine multipass manages. At the moment you have to do a
multipass stop my-machine && multipass start my-machine. Having a short version of this asmultipass restart my-machinewould be pretty handy.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
