I'm keeping an eye on this project as a way to give containers used with immutable distro installs (eg. silverblue) a kind of user-space hibernation feature. So I could hibernate different container workspaces at will. I would find this very useful for development projects where I often have a lot of state that I lose whenever I need to reboot or whatever. Last time I looked there were still to many limitations on what it could checkpoint, but maybe one day.


We do this using CRIU right now! https://github.com/cedana/cedana

In fact one of our customer's use cases is exactly what you describe, allowing users to "hibernate" container workspaces.


CRIU is 11 years old, don't expect it to be any more usable in the near future.


rr took about 9 years to get first class aarch64 support.
