distrobox-stop stop a running distrobox.

Distroboxes are left running, even after exiting out of them, so that subsequent enters are really quick. This is how they can be stopped.

distrobox stop

--name/-n:      name for the distrobox
--yes/-Y:       non-interactive, stop without asking
--help/-h:      show this message
--root/-r:      launch podman/docker with root privileges. Note that if you need root this is the preferred

way over "sudo distrobox" (note: if using a program other than 'sudo' for root privileges is necessary,
specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable) --verbose/-v: show more verbosity --version/-V: show version

distrobox-stop --name container-name
distrobox-stop container-name
    

You can also use environment variables to specify container manager and name:

DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER="docker" DBX_CONTAINER_NAME=test-alpine distrobox-stop
    

Supported environment variables:

DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER
DBX_CONTAINER_NAME
DBX_NON_INTERACTIVE
DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM
