# FSContainerState

An enumeration of container state values.

```
enum FSContainerState
```

## Overview

This enumeration represents values for a container’s state engine.
Containers start in the [`FSContainerState.notReady`](/documentation/FSKit/FSContainerState/notReady) state.

## Topics

### Container states

[`FSContainerState.notReady`](/documentation/FSKit/FSContainerState/notReady)

The container isn’t ready.

[`FSContainerState.blocked`](/documentation/FSKit/FSContainerState/blocked)

The container is blocked from transitioning from the not-ready state to the ready state by a potentially-recoverable error.

[`FSContainerState.ready`](/documentation/FSKit/FSContainerState/ready)

The container is ready, but inactive.

[`FSContainerState.active`](/documentation/FSKit/FSContainerState/active)

The container is active, and one or more volumes are active.

### Working with raw values
