Stop, start and delete PostgreSQL service

Learn how to stop, start, restart, and delete your PostgreSQL service in Zerops.

Using Zerops GUI

Go to the project dashboard and select the appropriate action from the menu in the top right corner:

• Stop - Stops the service (only disk resources are consumed while stopped)
• Start - Starts a stopped service
• Restart - Restarts a running service
• Delete service - Permanently deletes the service and all associated data

Warning

Deleting a service is permanent and cannot be undone. All data associated with the service will be lost.

Using zCLI

zCLI is the Zerops command-line tool. To manage your PostgreSQL service via the command-line:

1. Install & setup zCLI
2. Run the appropriate command:

# Stop a service
zcli service stop [service-id-or-name]

# Start a service
zcli service start [service-id-or-name]

# Delete a service
zcli service delete [service-id-or-name]

Info

All zCLI commands are interactive. When you press enter, you will be given a list of your projects and services to choose from.
