Stopping a Container

  1. On a running container, click the stop icon (orange).

  2. The container stops and its status changes to Stopped.

  2. The container starts and its status changes to Running.

Deleting a Container

  1. Click the trash icon (red) on the container card.

  2. If the container is running, a confirmation overlay appears: "Force-remove running container? Unsaved state will be lost."

  3. Click "Delete" to confirm, or "Cancel" to go back.

Refreshing the Container List

Click the refresh icon in the top-right corner of the Container Management page to re-scan for containers.


Disconnecting from a Container

When you are done working, you can disconnect from the current container without stopping it. The container continues running in the background.

Steps

  1. Click the red plug icon (Disconnect from container) in the top navigation bar.

  2. The application disconnects and returns to the Docker Start Page, where you can reconnect or start a new container.

Disconnecting does not stop the container. Use the Container Management page to stop or delete containers.
