# Container Management

The Container Management page lets you view, start, stop, and delete Ignition Docker containers.

## Getting There

Click the **cube icon** (Manage Containers) in the top navigation bar.

## What You See

A list of all Ignition containers (both running and stopped), each displayed as a card showing:

| Area    | What it shows                                                                    |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Header  | Container name (monospace), status chip (Running / Stopped), and raw status text |
| Details | Ignition version, gateway port, and display port                                 |
| Actions | Stop/Start and Delete buttons                                                    |

## Stopping a Container

1. On a running container, click the **stop icon** (orange).
2. The container stops and its status changes to **Stopped**.

## Starting a Stopped Container

1. On a stopped container, click the **play icon** (green).
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.
4. The container is removed and disappears from the list.

## 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.
