dicer instance rename

dicer instance rename

Rename a stopped instance

Synopsis

Renames a stopped instance. It keeps its ID, its disks, its snapshots and the address it holds: only what you call it changes.

A running instance is refused. Its name is where its files are kept on the host, and its guest took its hostname from the old name when it booted, so a rename could not fully take effect until it is started again.

dicer instance rename NAME NEW_NAME [flags]

Examples 

  dicer rename web web-old
  dicer instance rename api api-v2

Options 

  -h, --help   help for rename

Options inherited from parent commands 

  -D, --debug              Trace every call to the daemon on stderr (or set $DICER_DEBUG)
  -r, --remote string      Daemon to talk to: a remote's name, or an address (unix:///PATH or HOST:PORT) (default $DICER_REMOTE, then the current remote, then local)
      --timeout duration   Give up on a call to the daemon after this long, e.g. 30s (0: never; streams such as logs -f and exec are not bounded)
