moorcheh down

Overview

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

Synopsis

moorcheh down [options]

Options

Flag	Description
(none)	If config uses openai/cohere: stop server only. If ollama: stop server + `moorcheh-ollama` when running
`--use-host-ollama`	Stop only the Moorcheh server container; leave `moorcheh-ollama` running if present
`--bundled-ollama`	Same 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.

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
`0`	Containers stopped
`1`	Conflicting flags or Docker compose error
