Astrona stop

astrona stop

Pause a kind lab (frees CPU/RAM, keeps everything) — resume with astrona start

Synopsis

Stop a kind lab's node containers and pause its port forwards. Nothing is deleted: astrona start brings the cluster, its workloads and its port forwards back.

The lab's linked clusters (runtime.kind.clusters) are stopped with it.

Not supported for labs with more than one control plane — their node IPs change on restart, which breaks etcd. qemu labs aren't supported yet.

With no lab-name, uses the lab config from -c/--file/--git, or the only running kind lab.

astrona stop [lab-name] [flags]

Options

  -h, --help   help for stop

Options inherited from parent commands

      --accept-terms      Accept this CLI's usage terms and data-loss risk notice; required on each operational CI command (read: astrona terms)
  -c, --config string     Path or URL to the lab config directory (with --git: a subdirectory within the cloned repo) (default ".")
  -f, --file string       Configuration file name override (default "config.yaml")
      --git string        Git repository URL to clone/pull (https://, git@host:, or ssh://) — --config then selects a subdirectory within it
      --git-ref string    Git branch, tag, or commit to check out (used with --git; default: the repo's default branch)
      --headless          Disable the terminal UI and CLI prompts; run/reset skip login reminders and new account sessions
      --install-version   If the lab needs another astrona release (astronaVersion) that isn't installed, install it without asking — for CI
      --trust             Approve running a remote (--git / URL) lab without asking — for CI; review the lab first
      --update-check      Check for new CLI releases (disabled in CI, without a terminal, or by ASTRONA_NO_UPDATE_CHECK) (default true)
      --verbose           Stream the full output of every underlying command instead of the compact step view
