Good, as an experienced website operation expert, I am more than happy to elaborate on the steps to properly stop the AnQiCMS container in popular server management panels such as 1Panel or aaPanel.
Graceful shutdown: A practical guide to stopping the AnQiCMS container in 1Panel or aaPanel
In daily website operation, we often need to maintain, upgrade, or troubleshoot services.For AnQiCMS deployed based on Docker containers, understanding how to safely and effectively stop its operation in the server management panel is a necessary skill for every operator.1Panel and aaPanel (Baota International Edition) are popular server panels that both provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface for managing Docker containers, making it effortless to stop AnQiCMS containers.
We know that AnQiCMS is an efficient enterprise-level content management system, and deploying it in a Docker container is to achieve environmental isolation, rapid deployment, and convenient management.Therefore, when you need to stop the AnQiCMS service, it is actually stopping the Docker container that hosts the AnQiCMS application.This process is like pressing the power switch of an appliance, temporarily stopping its operation, but it will not erase its internal configuration and data. You can start it again at any time.
Next, we will explain step by step the specific operations in the 1Panel and aaPanel panels.
Stop the AnQiCMS container in the 1Panel
1Panel is favored by many users for its simple interface and powerful functions. The operation process to stop the AnQiCMS container here is very intuitive:
First, you need to access your 1Panel management interface through the browser and log in with your administrator account.Please shift your gaze to the left navigation menu after successful login.containerThe option of "
This page clearly lists all running or stopped Docker containers on the current server. Usually, you will find one named “AnQiCMSThe container of "". This is exactly the container where our AnQiCMS service is located. The status of the container (such as "running") will be displayed clearly next to the list.
After finding the target container, you will see a series of executable actions in the corresponding operation column, including the action ""StopButton.Click this 'Stop' button, the system will pop up a confirmation prompt asking if you are sure you want to stop the container.After confirming, click "OK", and 1Panel will send a stop command to the Docker daemon.Please wait, the container's status will change from 'Running' to 'Stopped'.Your AnQiCMS website will be temporarily inaccessible at this moment.
Stop AnQiCMS container in aaPanel
aaPanel (or Baota Panel) also provides a convenient Docker container management feature. Its operation logic is the same as 1Panel:
You need to log in to your aaPanel management backend. After logging in, find and click theDocker”Option, this will take you to the Docker management interface.
On the Docker management page, you will see a “Container listThe area or similar name where all Docker containers on the server are listed.Similar to 1Panel, please find your AnQiCMS container here.AnQiCMS”. Confirm that its current status is “Running.”} ]
Locate the AnQiCMS container, and in its corresponding operation options, you will see the followingStopThis key button.Click it, the system will also pop up a stop confirmation dialog to prevent accidental operation.After you confirm the stop operation, the container will stop running temporarily and its status will be updated to "Stopped".Your AnQiCMS website service will be suspended at this time.
Important considerations after stopping
Whether you are performing a stop operation in 1Panel or aaPanel, remember that this merely pauses the execution of the AnQiCMS application. All configuration data and database information are safely stored on your server (usually mounted to the host machine via Docker volumes or linked to an independent database service).The website being inaccessible is an expected behavior, which provides a safe environment for you to perform system upgrades, configuration modifications, or issue diagnostics.When you have completed the relevant work, simply click the corresponding "Start" button, and the AnQiCMS container will be relaunched, restoring the website service.
Through these simple panel operations, even operators without a technical background can easily manage the lifecycle of the AnQiCMS container, ensuring the stable operation and efficient maintenance of the website.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Will my website data be lost after stopping the AnQiCMS container?Please rest assured that stopping the AnQiCMS container will not cause your website data to be lost.The design philosophy of Docker containers is that application data is usually mounted to the host machine through 'volumes' (Volumes) or stored in an independent database service.This means that as long as the related volumes and databases have not been manually cleared, all your website content, configurations, and user data are safe, even if the container itself is stopped, deleted, or rebuilt.
What is the difference between stopping and restarting? Which should I choose?The "StopThe 'restart' operation is a composite action that first tries to stop the container and then starts it immediately.
- Select 'Stop':When you need to perform a longer maintenance, modify container configurations (such as port mapping, environment variables, etc.), or maintain underlying services (such as MySQL databases), choosing 'stop' is more appropriate.
- Select "Restart":When you have made configuration changes within AnQiCMS (such as updating background settings, installing plugins), or AnQiCMS is experiencing slow operation, abnormal response, or other minor failures, and you wish to quickly refresh the service status, choosing 'Restart' is the most convenient way.
What if the AnQiCMS container cannot be stopped?If the container remains in a 'Stopping' state for a long time after clicking stop, or the status does not change, it may indicate that the container's internal process has become a zombie.In this case, most management panels (such as 1Panel and aaPanel) will provide an option for 'Force Stop' or 'Force Close'.Use this option usually to force the container to stop running, but use it with caution as it may not give the container's internal processes enough time for cleanup.If there are still issues after forced shutdown, you can try checking the server resource usage, viewing the Docker logs, or considering contacting the server provider for technical support.
