Overview
Stop a running container by sending SIGTERM and then SIGKILL after a grace period:
docker stop <options> <container-id> <container-id> ...
The stop command preserves the container's writable layer, so when the container is restarted with docker start, the transient state preserved in the container's image by the previous runs is not lost. That state is only lost when the container is deleted with docker rm.
Options
-t, --time
Seconds to wait before killing the container (default 10 secs).
