command: docker compose down short: Stop and remove containers, networks long: |- 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 will not be automatically mounted by a subsequent `up`. For data that needs to persist between updates, use explicit paths as bind mounts or named volumes. usage: docker compose down [OPTIONS] [SERVICES] pname: docker compose plink: docker_compose.yaml options: - option: remove-orphans value_type: bool default_value: "false" description: Remove containers for services not defined in the Compose file. deprecated: false hidden: false experimental: false experimentalcli: false kubernetes: false swarm: false - option: rmi value_type: string description: | Remove images used by services.
