Restart an instance

A running instance can be restarted using the amc restart command:

amc restart <instance_id>

<instance_id> is the ID of the instance that you want to restart.

Important

Do not use the lxc command to manage an instance. Always use the amc command instead. In Anbox Cloud, instances have their own life cycle and using the lxc command to manage an instance can cause the instance to be out of sync.

By default, the amc restart command waits 5 minutes for both stopping and starting the instance before the command times out. If you want to specify a custom wait time, you can do so by using the --timeout option in the amc stop command.

amc restart <instance_id> --timeout 10m
