lxc: Stop a container.
$ lxc stop [${remote}:]${container}
try on your machine

The lxc stop command is used to stop a specified container in LXC (Linux Containers). Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • lxc: This is the command-line tool used to manage LXC containers.
  • stop: This is the subcommand that indicates the action to be performed, which is stopping a container.
  • [${remote}:]: This part is optional. If you are working with remote LXC servers, you can specify the IP or hostname of the remote server where the container is running. If this is not provided, the command assumes that the container is running locally.
  • ${container}: This is the name or ID of the container that you want to stop.

Overall, the command lxc stop [${remote}:]${container} is used to stop the specified LXC container, either on a local server or a remote server.
