Description

DISTROBOX-STOP

NAME

distrobox stop
distrobox-stop

DESCRIPTION

distrobox-stop stop a running distrobox.

Distroboxes are left running, even after exiting out of them, so that subsequent enters are really quick. This is how they can be stopped.

SYNOPSIS

distrobox stop

--name/-n: name for the distrobox
--yes/-Y: non-interactive, stop without asking
--help/-h: show this message
--root/-r: launch podman/docker with root privileges. Note that if you need root this is the preferred
way over "sudo distrobox" (note: if using a program other than 'sudo' for root privileges is necessary,
specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable)
--verbose/-v: show more verbosity
--version/-V: show version

EXAMPLES

distrobox-stop --name container-name
distrobox-stop container-name

You can also use environment variables to specify container manager and name:

DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER="docker" DBX_CONTAINER_NAME=test-alpine distrobox-stop

Supported environment variables:

DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER
DBX_CONTAINER_NAME
DBX_NON_INTERACTIVE
DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM
