Hi @Ethan91, thanks for reaching out. You will have to do this through Docker by changing the restart policy. You can do so with this command:

`docker update --restart=no devkinsta_nginx devkinsta_db devkinsta_adminer devkinsta_mailhog devkinsta_fpm`

The DevKinsta containers should now only start after you start DevKinsta. Please let us know if that doesn’t work!
