Start lxc time?

[alberisca75]

Hi, is it possible to start and shut down an lxc or vm at a time set by the user? example start at 18 and turn off at 20!

hi,

you can have a cron job script calling the API, qm or pct tools can be used to start/stop VMs and containers respectively:

qm start VMID
qm stop VMID

and same for pct with container ID.

Hi, I guess you could use crontab to do this:

root@pve:# crontab -e

add the following:

0 18 * * * pct start <CT-ID>
0 20 * * * pct shutdown <CT-ID>
