stack down

Stop and remove all stack containers.

Usage​

postkit stack down             # Stop containers, keep volumes
postkit stack down --volumes   # Stop containers AND remove volumes

Options​

OptionDescription
--volumesRemove persistent volumes (Postgres data, Keycloak data)

What It Does​

  1. Reads .postkit/stack/docker-compose.yml
  2. Runs docker compose down (with --volumes if flag is set)

Data Safety​

Without --volumes, PostgreSQL and Keycloak data survive in Docker named volumes. Re-running stack up resumes where you left off.

With --volumes, all data is deleted and the is_initial flag resets automatically (the postkit.stack_config table is in the Postgres volume). The next stack up runs full initialization — realm import and JWKs fetch.
