# local stop

## Overview

Stops a local cluster VM and the shared background local server. The current implementation does not yet preserve the server when another local VM is running.

Use `--id` to select a non-default local cluster. Pass `--rm` to delete the cluster after stopping it.

```
podplane local stop [flags]
```

## Options

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--rm` | Remove (delete) the cluster after stopping |
| `--id string` | Local cluster ID (default: `default`) |
