docker compose down
| Description | Stop and remove containers, networks |
|---|---|
| Usage | docker compose down [OPTIONS] [SERVICES] |
Description
Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images created by up.
By default, the only things removed are:
- Containers for services defined in the Compose file.
- Networks defined in the networks section of the Compose file.
- The default network, if one is used.
Networks and volumes defined as external are never removed.
Anonymous volumes are not removed by default. However, as they don’t have a stable name, they are not automatically
mounted by a subsequent up. For data that needs to persist between updates, use explicit paths as bind mounts or
named volumes.
