Hello.

I’ve raised local dev env according to the docs and wonder if there’s a way to stop it temporarily (e.g. in order to save computer resources) ?

I’m looking to smth. like `make docker-compose-stop`.

Or the only way to achieve this is to run `docker-compose down` explicitly?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the log tailing in a window after running `make docker-compose` you should be able to just +c in that window to get docker-compose to stop on its own.
