wheels deploy app stop

docker stop app containers for the given version. Containers remain on disk — use app remove to delete them.

wheels deploy app stop --release=<v> [--role=<name>] [--destination=<name>] [--dry-run]
FlagDescription
--release=<v>Required.
--role=<name>Limit to one role.
--destination=<name>Overlay destination config.
--dry-runPrint commands without executing.

Emits docker stop <service>-<role>-<version> on every host in the target role(s). The proxy is not notified — in-flight requests to the stopped container will fail until you cut traffic elsewhere or restart.

For traffic-safe shutdown, use wheels deploy rollback to the previous version first.

Example
wheels deploy app stop --release=abc1234
