ov stop -- Stop Service Container
Overview
Stops a running service container. In quadlet mode, stops the systemd user service. In direct mode, stops the container via the container engine.
Relationship to ov deploy del — ov stop <name> is the ergonomic wrapper for ov deploy del <name> on a container deploy. The two are interchangeable for container deploys; ov deploy del host is required for the host-target teardown path (which runs ReverseOps, removes env.d files, and strips the shell managed block). See /ov-core:deploy and /ov-advanced:local-deploy.
Quick Reference
| Action | Command | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| Stop service | ov stop <image> | Stop the running container |
| With instance | ov stop <image> -i 2 | Stop a specific instance |
| Stop + tear down FUSE | ov stop <image> --unmount | Stop the container AND unmount encrypted volumes (drops ov-enc-<image>-<volume>.scope units) |
Usage
# Stop a running service
ov stop jupyter
# Stop a specific instance
ov stop ollama -i 2
# Stop and tear down encrypted FUSE mounts in one step
ov stop immich --unmount
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| -i, --instance INSTANCE | Target a specific container instance |
| --unmount | After the container stop succeeds, also tear down ov-enc-<image>-<volume>.scope units via encUnmount. Best-effort: per-volume unmount failures emit a warning but don't propagate (the container has already stopped; the user can retry with ov config unmount <image>). Default false — plain ov stop leaves gocryptfs scopes running so they survive container restart (the original load-bearing design from /ov-advanced:enc). |
Behavior
- Quadlet mode: Runs
systemctl --user stop ov-<image>.service - Direct mode: Runs
<engine> stop <container> - Does not remove the container or its configuration -- use
ov removefor that - Does not disable the service -- the container may restart on next login if enabled
- To stop and disable:
ov start <image> --enable=falsethenov stop <image> - By design, plain
ov stopdoes NOT tear down encrypted FUSE mounts — theov-enc-*.scopeunits are deliberately decoupled from the container service cgroup so they surviveKillMode=mixedon stop and let the next start fast-path through theov config mountshort-circuit. Use--unmountfor the full teardown semantics.
