pct-reboot
reboots a Proxmox LXC container
TLDR
Reboot a container
$ pct reboot 100
Reboot with a timeout of 60 seconds$ pct reboot 100 --timeout 60
SYNOPSIS
pct reboot vmid [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
pct reboot shuts down and restarts a Proxmox LXC container. The command performs a clean reboot by first requesting the container to shut down gracefully, then starting it again. If the container does not stop within the timeout period, the operation fails.
PARAMETERS
vmid
The numeric ID of the container (100 or higher)--timeout seconds
Wait this many seconds for the shutdown before failing. The default is 60 seconds.
CAVEATS
The container must be running for a reboot to succeed. If the container has processes that block shutdown, the reboot may time out. Unlike a hard reset, this performs a graceful shutdown first, so unresponsive containers may need to be stopped and started manually instead.
HISTORY
pct reboot is part of the Proxmox VE virtualization platform for managing LXC containers.
