Container Management

Start Stopped Containers

# Start specific service
lc start mongodb

# Start all services
lc start

Stop Running Containers

# Stop specific service
lc stop ollama

# Stop all services
lc stop

Restart Containers

# Restart specific service
lc restart postgres

# Restart all services
lc restart

Filtering and Sorting

Filter by Status

# Show only running containers
lc ps

# Show only stopped containers
lc ps -a | grep Exited

# Show containers with issues
lc ps -a | grep -E "(Exited|Error|Unhealthy)"

Service-Specific Views

# View AI service containers
lc ps | grep ollama

# View database containers
lc ps | grep -E "(postgres|mongodb)"

# View infrastructure containers
lc ps | grep -E "(redis|minio)"

Common Patterns

Health Check Workflow

# 1. Check container status
lc ps

# 2. Identify issues
lc ps -a | grep -v Running

# 3. Check logs for problems
lc logs <service-name>

# 4. Restart if needed
lc restart <service-name>

# 5. Verify fix
lc ps

Resource Monitoring

# Check current resource usage
lc ps

# Monitor over time
watch -n 5 'lc ps'

# Check if containers are using too much memory
lc ps | grep -E "([0-9]+\.?[0-9]*GB)"

Troubleshooting Workflow

# 1. List all containers
lc ps -a

# 2. Find stopped containers
lc ps -a | grep Exited

# 3. Check exit codes
docker ps -a --filter "label=com.localcloud.service"

# 4. Investigate logs
lc logs <failed-service>

# 5. Restart if possible
lc start <failed-service>

Output Variations

Minimal Output

lc ps --quiet

Integration with Other Commands

Combined Workflows

# Check status and start missing services
lc ps -a
lc start

# Monitor logs of running containers
lc ps --quiet | xargs -I {} lc logs {}

# Restart unhealthy containers
lc ps | grep Unhealthy | awk '{print $2}' | xargs lc restart

Automation Scripts

#!/bin/bash
# Health check script

echo "Checking LocalCloud container health..."

# Get container count
RUNNING=$(lc ps --quiet | wc -l)
EXPECTED=4

if [ "$RUNNING" -lt "$EXPECTED" ]; then
    echo "�  Only $RUNNING/$EXPECTED containers running"
    lc ps -a
    exit 1
else
    echo " All $RUNNING containers running"
    exit 0
fi

Troubleshooting

No Containers Shown

# Check if Docker is running
docker version

# Check if in correct directory
lc status

# Check if services were started
lc start

Container Status Issues

Error: Container exited with code 1

Solutions:

Check logs: lc logs <service-name>
