NAME

       podman-stop - Stop one or more running containers

SYNOPSIS

       podman stop [options] container ...

       podman container stop [options] container ...

DESCRIPTION

       Stops  one  or  more  containers  using container IDs or names as input. The --time option
       specifies the number of seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container  after  the
       stop command is issued to the container. The default is 10 seconds. By default, containers
       are stopped with SIGTERM and then SIGKILL after the timeout. The SIGTERM  default  can  be
       overridden  by  the  image  used  to  create  the container and also via command line when
       creating the container.

OPTIONS

   --all, -a
       Stop all running containers.  This does not include paused containers.

   --cidfile=file
       Read container ID from the specified file  and  stop  the  container.   Can  be  specified
       multiple times.

       Command does not fail when file is missing and user specified --ignore.

   --filter, -f=filter
       Filter  what  containers  are  going  to  be  stopped.  Multiple filters can be given with
       multiple uses of the --filter flag.  Filters with the same key  work  inclusive  with  the
       only  exception  being  label  which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work
       exclusive.

       Valid filters are listed below:

       └─────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

   --ignore, -i
       Ignore errors when specified containers are not in the container store.  A user might have
       decided  to  manually  remove  a  container  which  leads to a failure during the ExecStop
       directive of a systemd service referencing that container.

   --latest, -l
       Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container.  Note:  the
       last  started  container  can  be  from  other users of Podman on the host machine.  (This
       option is not  available  with  the  remote  Podman  client,  including  Mac  and  Windows
       (excluding WSL2) machines)

   --time, -t=seconds
       Seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container.  Use -1 for infinite wait.

EXAMPLES

       Stop the specified container via its name.

       $ podman stop mywebserver

       Stop the container via its id.

       $ podman stop 860a4b235279

       Stop multiple containers.

       $ podman stop mywebserver 860a4b235279

       Stop the container identified in the cidfile.

       $ podman stop --cidfile /home/user/cidfile-1

       Stop the containers identified in the cidfiles.

       $ podman stop --cidfile /home/user/cidfile-1 --cidfile ./cidfile-2

       Stop the specified container in 2 seconds.

       $ podman stop --time 2 860a4b235279

       Stop all running containers.

       $ podman stop -a

       Stop  the  last  created  container  (This  option is not available with the remote Podman
       client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
