How can I pause or stop Kubernetes without shutting down Docker?

Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm trying to find a way to pause or stop Kubernetes in Docker Desktop without actually stopping Docker itself. I've looked into the settings where I can enable the Kubernetes switch and reset the cluster, but that deletes everything. Sometimes, I just want to pause Kubernetes to save on RAM usage without shutting down Docker completely. Any tips or solutions?

If you're looking for a way to manage your resources better without stopping Docker, one approach is to cordon the node and then delete all the pods. This way, you can free up RAM while keeping your Docker containers active.

I found a workaround! If you enable "Show system containers (advanced)" in the settings, you can simply stop the Kubernetes-related containers without shutting down Docker. Just keep in mind that this could have some downsides, so make sure to monitor how it affects your setup.

It seems like there's a bit of confusion here. Just remember that Docker Desktop is mainly for managing your Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters. When you create a Kubernetes cluster (like "docker-desktop"), you can't really stop Kubernetes without stopping the cluster itself since it's the engine that runs everything. So if Kubernetes stops, the cluster stops too.
