% podman-restart 1 ## NAME podman\-restart - Restart one or more containers ## SYNOPSIS **podman restart** [*options*] *container* ... **podman container restart** [*options*] *container* ... ## DESCRIPTION The restart command allows containers to be restarted using their ID or name. Running containers are stopped and restarted. Stopped containers are started. ## OPTIONS #### **--all**, **-a** Restart all containers regardless of their current state. #### **--cidfile** Read container ID from the specified file and restart the container. Can be specified multiple times. #### **--filter**, **-f**=*filter* Filter what containers restart. Multiple filters can be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag. Filters with the same key work inclusive with the only exception being `label` which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive. Valid filters are listed below: | **Filter** | **Description** | |------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | id | [ID] Container's ID (CID prefix match by default; accepts regex) | | name | [Name] Container's name (accepts regex) | | label | [Key] or [Key=Value] Label assigned to a container | | exited | [Int] Container's exit code | | status | [Status] Container's status: 'created', 'exited', 'paused', 'running', 'unknown' | | ancestor | [ImageName] Image or descendant used to create container | | before | [ID] or [Name] Containers created before this container | | since | [ID] or [Name] Containers created since this container | | volume | [VolumeName] or [MountpointDestination] Volume mounted in container | | health | [Status] healthy or unhealthy | | pod | [Pod] name or full or partial ID of pod | | network | [Network] name or full ID of network | | until | [DateTime] Containers created before the given duration or time. | [//]: # (BEGIN included file options/latest.md) #### **--latest**, **-l** Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines) [//]: # (END included file options/latest.md) #### **--running** Restart all containers that are already in the *running* state.
