Stop or destroy your instance

Stop it

If you want to temporarily stop the instance without losing the data that was generated, you can use the stop command:

invenio-cli services stop
invenio-cli containers stop

Destroy it

If you wish to clean up and delete all Docker artefacts, you can use the destroy command. It removes ALL InvenioRDM-related containers, images and volumes.

Warning

The destroy command WILL permanently erase all your data in the Docker containers.

Note that destroy will also stop the containers, so there is no need to run the previous command:

invenio-cli services destroy
invenio-cli containers destroy

Destroy everything

If you want to also destroy any pipenv-managed Python virtual environment, you can use the global destroy command. This command is the same for both installation options and wipes everything but your project files:

invenio-cli destroy
