distrobox stop distrobox-stop
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.
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
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
