portler down

Stop services started by Portler.

portler down [docker|k8s] [service...]

Behavior

• Stops the selected services (all by default): local processes are signalled, Docker containers stopped and removed.
• Releases the stopped services' port reservations from the global registry.
• portler down k8s additionally deletes the generated Kubernetes resources — the whole project namespace, or just the selected services — stops the port-forwards, and waits (up to 60s) for the namespace to finish terminating.
• With a proxy configured, portler down stops it too; portler down proxy stops just the proxy.
• Captured log files in .portler/logs/ are kept after down for post-mortem inspection.

Examples

portler down                 # stop everything (including the proxy)
portler down backend         # stop one service
portler down proxy           # stop only the reverse proxy
portler down k8s             # tear down the Kubernetes namespace + port-forwards
