How to stop and start arangodb server in arangodb docker container

Question

I could not stop the arangodb server in arangodb docker container.

when I execute below one,

$/etc/init.d/arangod stop

$service arangodb status

• arangod is not running

But I could still connect arangodb server using arangosh.

I don't know why this is happening , Any help?

Answer 1

ArangoDB is now available via the Docker library

The ArangoDB 2.8.x docker container will only run the ArangoDB service alone.

you can use

docker ps -a 

to get the container ID (and its started/stopped state), which you then can use with

docker start <container ID>

and

docker stop <Container ID>

to start/stop the ArangoDB server.

docker exec -it <Container ID> bash

can give you a shell inside of that running container, but the user is not privileged to start or stop the service.

Answer 2

Using the ArangoDB web interface select the support option from the left. Then select the "Rest API" tab and scroll down to the "/_admin/shutdown" option. On the right of this click on the "Initiate shutdown sequence" link. This opens an area that has a button labeled "Try it out!". Pressing this button will shut down your server.

I am using the V3.2.4 Community Edition.
