Oh it looks like the restart policy on the docker compose is set to `always` thinking face we should make that configurable In the meantime you should be able to run `docker compose down` to stop and remove all of the containers

I installed it via pip does this mean I have to clone the github repo

Gridcellcoder · Answer

it would be useful to have a `prefect server stop` but how can I stop these without cloning the repo

josh · Answer

I think just running `docker compose down` will stop them and you don t need to clone the repo

Gridcellcoder · Answer

```docker compose down ERROR Can t find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any parent Are you in the right directory Supported filenames docker compose yml docker compose yaml```

Gridcellcoder · Answer

had to clone the repo and run it `prefect server docker$ docker compose down`

josh · Answer

Ah so yes maybe you do need to clone the repo and run it I just ran it and it worked but I was already in the repo sweat smile

josh · Answer
