Stop or destroy your instance

Stoping containers

If you want to temporarily stop the instance without losing the data that was generated, you can use the stop command:

invenio-cli containers stop
# or
invenio-cli services stop

Destroying containers

Warning

The destroy command WILL permanently erase all your data in the Docker containers.

On the other hand, if you wish to clean up and delete all Docker artefacts, you can use the destroy command. It removes all containers, images and volumes.

Note that destroy will also stop the containers, so there is no need to run the previous command:

invenio-cli containers destroy
# or
invenio-cli services destroy

Destroying all

If you also want to destroy a pipenv managed Python virtual environment along with the containers you can use the global destroy command:

invenio-cli destroy
