Manage running containers

You can use dbctl ls to view running containers managed by dbctl. This is particularly useful when running dbctl in detached mode (with the -d flag), as it runs the container and exits.

To test it lets run a postgres database.

dbctl start pg

In another terminal run flowing command:

dbctl ls

Example Output:

╭──────────────┬─────────────────────────┬──────────╮
│ ID           │ Name                    │ Type     │
├──────────────┼─────────────────────────┼──────────┤
│ 6511509bb314 │ /dbctl_pg_1695666553_11 │ postgres │
╰──────────────┴─────────────────────────┴──────────╯

To stop a container by its ID, use stop command:

dbctl stop 6511509bb314

Or to stop all containers managed by dbctl run:

dbctl stop all

You can also stop containers by their database type. for example flowing command will stop and redis container that managed by dbctl:

dbclt stop rs

Its possible to send multipe types at the same time as well: stop all postgres and redis databases.

dbclt stop rs pg
