needrestart - container support

===============================

If needrestart has found a process using obsolete binaries it checks if

the process is part of a container. If the process is part of a container

it might not be possible to restart it using Sys-V/systemd.

There are special packages (NeedRestart::CONT::*) implementing the

container detection and restarting.

NeedRestart::CONT::docker

-------------------------

Recognized by:	cgroup path (`/system.slice/docker-*.scope` || `/docker/*`)

Docker containers are ignored (needrestart 2.12+) since there are no updates

within docker containers by design.

NeedRestart::CONT::LXC

----------------------

Recognized by:	cgroup path (`/lxc/*` || `/lxc.payload/*`)

For each container which should be restarted needrestart calls

`lxc-stop --reboot --name $NAME`.

This package also supports LXD containers, which are restarted by `lxc restart

$NAME` or `lxc restart --project=$PROJECT $NAME` for containers in projects.

NeedRestart::CONT::machined

---------------------------

Recognized by:	cgroup path (`/machine.slice/machine-*.scope`)

For each container which should be restarted needrestart calls

`machinectl reboot $NAME`.
