## k3d adds cluster restart command (k3d, 2026-06-02)
Published 2026-10-16
- slug: k3d-adds-cluster-restart-command-b6f6055ac32b
- score: 0.97

How to use it:

When restarting a k3d cluster, run `k3d cluster restart <name>`; omit the name to target the default cluster, or use `--all` to restart every cluster.

Examples:

```
k3d cluster restart <cluster-name>
```

```
k3d cluster restart
```

```
k3d cluster restart --all
```

- why_it_matters: Restart a k3d cluster while working with multiple clusters.

- gotchas: "Version: v5.9.0"; "NAME: Cluster name; accepts multiple names. Defaults to `k3s-default` when omitted."; "--all, -a: Restart all existing clusters."; "--wait: Wait for servers and load balancer to be ready before returning; defaults to true."; "--timeout: Maximum wait time before canceling or returning; defaults to 0 seconds."; "Docs conflict: The v5.9.0 command reference lists cluster start and stop but omits restart; the v5.9.0 command implementation defines `cluster restart`."
