​
Overview

Stops Moorcheh Docker containers started by moorcheh up. Your data in ~/.moorcheh/data is not deleted.

​
Synopsis

moorcheh down [options]

​
Options

FlagDescription
(none)Stop and remove all compose services (server + moorcheh-ollama if running)
--use-host-ollamaStop only the Moorcheh server container; leave moorcheh-ollama running if present
--bundled-ollamaSame as default — full compose teardown including bundled Ollama
You cannot use --bundled-ollama and --use-host-ollama together (exit code 1).
--use-host-ollama does not stop Ollama running on your host (outside Docker). It only skips stopping the moorcheh-ollama container.

​
Examples

# Stop everything (default)
moorcheh down

# Stop server only — keep moorcheh-ollama container if it was started
moorcheh down --use-host-ollama

​
Output

Docker compose progress may print to stdout/stderr, for example: 
Container moorcheh-onprem-server  Stopping
Container moorcheh-onprem-server  Removed
Container moorcheh-ollama  Stopping
Container moorcheh-ollama  Removed
No JSON output. After moorcheh down, moorcheh status fails until you run moorcheh up again.
