# Commands Reference

When the terminal is not attached to a container, it cannot be stopped with `Ctrl+c`. In this case the commands below can be used to stop a container.

Stop a container launched with `docker`: 

```
docker stop <CONTAINER_ID>
```

Stop a container/containers launched with `docker-compose`:

```
docker-compose down
```

```
docker-compose logs coti-node --follow
```

Output the node logs to a file:

Copy the node logs to your local computer (run this from your local computer):
