Thankfully, You understand what I mean. I know that I should request a same
IP address and the CRIU I use is the release you give in cr-combined(I
guess this is the modified CRIU you mentioned).
The problem is I do not know how to request a container with specific IP
address via docker command or RESTful API. I know there is docker run --ip
for later than docker v1.10, but the latest release of cr-combined doesn't
support this flag.
I tried to modified the source code of docker v1.10, but it always hangs on
without any response while running, :(.
Do you know how to request such a container with the release version you
give?
