Hi @thehungrybird, thanks for reaching out. You can change the Docker settings for starting containers by running this command in your terminal:

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

> 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!

Please let us know if that doesn’t work for you!
