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  overrid‐
   den 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 excep‐
   tion 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  direc‐
   tive 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.
