docker container stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Aliases
An alias is a short or memorable alternative for a longer command.
docker stop
The main process inside the container will receive SIGTERM
, and after a grace period, SIGKILL
. The first signal can be changed with the STOPSIGNAL
instruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the --stop-signal
option to docker run
and docker create
.
-s, --signal
Signal to send to the container -t, --timeout
Seconds to wait before killing the container Stop container with signal (-s, --signal)
The --signal
flag sends the system call signal to the container to exit. This signal can be a signal name in the format SIG<NAME>
, for instance SIGKILL
, or an unsigned number that matches a position in the kernel's syscall table, for instance 9
. Refer to signal(7) for available signals.
The default signal to use is defined by the image's StopSignal
, which can be set through the STOPSIGNAL
Dockerfile instruction when building the image, or configured using the --stop-signal
option when creating the container. If no signal is configured for the container, SIGTERM
is used as default.
The --timeout
flag sets the number of seconds to wait for the container to stop after sending the pre-defined (see [--signal
]{#signal)) system call signal. If the container does not exit after the timeout elapses, it's forcibly killed with a SIGKILL
signal.
If you set --timeout
to -1
, no timeout is applied, and the daemon waits indefinitely for the container to exit.
The default timeout can be specified using the --stop-timeout
option when creating the container. If no default is configured for the container, the Daemon determines the default, and is 10 seconds for Linux containers, and 30 seconds for Windows containers.
