nkapp stop

Stop running services without removing their containers. Stopped containers retain their state and can be restarted quickly.

bash

nkapp stop [services...] [options]

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
`services`	string[]	Optional list of service names to stop. If omitted, stops all services.

Flag	Type	Default	Description
`-e, --env <env>`	string	`local`	Target environment

For remote environments, Nanokit automatically establishes an SSH tunnel to the target host before issuing stop commands to the remote Docker daemon.

bash

# Stop all services in local environment
nkapp stop

# Stop specific services
nkapp stop api worker

# Stop staging services
nkapp stop -e stage

Note. Unlike nkapp destroy, stopped containers are not removed. Use nkapp up to restart them.
