turbo fork ​

The fork command creates a copy of an existing container.

Usage ​

text
Usage: turbo fork  <existing container> [<new container name>]

Options ​

  • --format=VALUE — Use the specified format for output. Supported values: json
  • --images=VALUE — Use specified images for new container
  • --wait-after-error — Leave process open after error
  • --wait-after-exit — Leave process open after it exits

The `--images' flag replaces all images in the new container with the ones that are specified. Any images from the original container that are required in the new container would need to be specified again.

JSON output ​

When --format=json option was passed this command will provide output in JSON format. It will contain either an container object with information about cloned container or an error object if command failed.
