How to cancel "--rm" in running podman container

[abitrolly]

I am using this helper script to run containerized program in current directory (full source).

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# name of current dir
NAME=$(basename "$PWD")

podman run -v "$(pwd):/root/$NAME":Z -w "/root/$NAME" -it "$@"

Now I want to add the flag --rm to avoid cleaning up containers once in a while. But there are cases when I want to stop container and then access it again later. Is there a way to prevent removal of a container that started with podman run --rm?

No it is not possible to prevent removal when--rm if it is set.

Is it possible to shapshot the container somehow while it is running?

[Luap99]

podman container clone should work I guess

[abitrolly]

Works like a charm.

podman container clone mycontainer mycloned
podman start mycloned --attach

And mycloned is not cleaned up when it exits, which is what i need.

As suggested by @Luap99.

podman container clone mycontainer mycloned
podman start mycloned --attach
