### How to use?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently nsinit has 9 commands. Type `nsinit -h` to list all of them.
|
||||||
|
And for every alternative command, you can also use `--help` to get more
|
||||||
|
detailed help documents. For example, `nsinit config --help`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nsinit` cli application is implemented using [cli.go](https://github.com/codegangsta/cli).
|
||||||
|
Lots of details are handled in cli.go, so the implementation of `nsinit` itself
|
||||||
|
is very clean and clear.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **config**
|
||||||
|
It will generate a standard configuration file for a container. By default, it
|
||||||
|
will generate as the template file in [config.go](https://github.com/docker/libcontainer/blob/master/nsinit/config.go#L192).
|
||||||
|
It will modify the template if you have specified some configuration by options.
|
||||||
|
* **exec**
|
||||||
|
Starts a container and execute a new command inside it. Besides common options, it
|
||||||
|
has some special options as below.
|
||||||
|
- `--tty,-t`: allocate a TTY to the container.
|
||||||
|
- `--config`: you can specify a configuration file. By default, it will use
|
||||||
|
template configuration.
|
||||||
|
- `--id`: specify the ID for a container. By default, the id is "nsinit".
|
||||||
|
- `--user,-u`: set the user, uid, and/or gid for the process. By default the
|
||||||
|
value is "root".
|
||||||
|
- `--cwd`: set the current working dir.
|
||||||
|
- `--env`: set environment variables for the process.
|
||||||
|
* **init**
|
||||||
|
It's an internal command that is called inside the container's namespaces to
|
||||||
|
initialize the namespace and exec the user's process. It should not be called
|
||||||
|
externally.
|
||||||
|
* **oom**
|
||||||
|
Display oom notifications for a container, you should specify container id.
|
||||||
|
* **pause**
|
||||||
|
Pause the container's processes, you should specify container id. It will use
|
||||||
|
cgroup freeze subsystem to help.
|
||||||
|
* **unpause**
|
||||||
|
Unpause the container's processes. Same with `pause`.
|
||||||
|
* **stats**
|
||||||
|
Display statistics for the container, it will mainly show cgroup and network
|
||||||
|
statistics.
|
||||||
|
* **state**
|
||||||
|
Get the container's current state. You can also read the state from `state.json`
|
||||||
|
in your container_id folder.
|
||||||
|
* **help, h**
|
||||||
|
Shows a list of commands or help for one command.
