docker-compose-down(1)

docker-compose-down1

Stop and remove containers, networks

Usage

docker compose down [OPTIONS] [SERVICES]

Overview

Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images created by up.

By default, the only things removed are:

•

Containers for services defined in the Compose file.

•

Networks defined in the networks section of the Compose file.

•

The default network, if one is used.

Networks and volumes defined as external are never removed.

Anonymous volumes are not removed by default. However, as they don’t have a stable name, they are not automatically mounted by a subsequent up. For data that needs to persist between updates, use explicit paths as bind mounts or named volumes.

Options

-h, --help[=false]
help for down

--remove-orphans[=false]
Remove containers for services not defined in the Compose file

--rmi=""

-t, --timeout=0
Specify a shutdown timeout in seconds

-v, --volumes[=false]
Remove named volumes declared in the "volumes" section of the Compose file and anonymous volumes attached to containers

Options inherited from parent commands

--dry-run[=false]
Execute command in dry run mode
