Disabling Container

There may appear situations when you need to forbid Container owners to use their Containers. For example, it may happen if the Container owner uses it for unallowed purposes: intruding into computers of other users, participating in DoS attacks, and so on.

In such cases, you can disable a Container, thus making it impossible to start the Container once it was stopped. For example, you can execute the following command to disable Container 101:

# pctl set 101 --disabled yes

Once Container 101 is stopped, the user will not be able to start it again until you enable the Container again:

# pctl set 101 --disabled no

You can also use the --force option to start a disabled Container. For example:

# pctl start 101

Container start disabled

# pctl start 101 --force
