docker: Stop a machine.

docker-machine

$ docker-machine stop ${name}

try on your machine

The command "docker-machine stop ${name}" is used to stop a Docker machine instance.

Here's a breakdown of each component:

"docker-machine stop": This is the main command to stop a Docker machine instance. It is a part of the Docker Machine tool, which helps manage Docker hosts.
"${name}": This is a placeholder for the name or identifier of the Docker machine instance you want to stop. You need to replace "${name}" with the actual name or identifier of the specific Docker machine.

By using this command and providing the correct Docker machine name or identifier, you can stop the particular Docker machine instance. Stopping a Docker machine instance means that the virtual machine associated with that instance will be stopped, along with all the running Docker containers and services hosted on it.
