DOCKER-COMPOSE-PAUSE(1)

💖 DOCKER-COMPOSE-PAUSE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to docker-compose-pause — it's a page from the DOCKER-COMPOSE-PAUSE(1) manual and honestly? it's giving ✨timeout but make it fashion✨. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

docker-compose-pause — Pause services 🫶

like. it pauses them. that's the whole job. and it eats every single time 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

docker compose pause [SERVICE...]

no cap, that's it. you give it zero or more services and it just... pauses them. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕: this command pauses running containers of a service. They don't die, they don't get removed, they just get ✨frozen in time✨ like a lil screenshot of a container. main character on hold energy.

And when you're ready to let them live again? You can unpause them with docker compose unpause. they wake up like nothing happened 😭🦋

bestie note: paused ≠ stopped. pausing is a vibe pause, not a whole shutdown. don't get it twisted 💀

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help[=false] — help for pause. yes it defaults to false, meaning you have to actually ask for help, it won't just trauma-dump the usage at you unprompted 🙈

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these ones came from the parent command, like hand-me-downs but make them useful:

• --dry-run[=false] — Execute command in dry run mode. defaults to false, so if you want to ✨pretend✨ to do the thing without actually doing the thing, this is your moment 🌈

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• docker-compose(1) — the parent, the origin story, the mother of all of this 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this little gem is from Mar 2025, lives in the DOCKER-COMPOSE-PAUSE(1) manual, and yeah — that's the version + date combo, so now you're fully caught up. go pause something responsibly, mwah 💖💅✨
