Deployment lifecycle

The dashboard shows three statuses during initial deployment:
StatusDescription
DeployingImage is being pulled and the enclave is booting
RunningContainer is live and serving traffic
FailedSomething went wrong — check your config and Docker image
The dashboard polls for status updates automatically. For updating a running container, rolling back, canceling an in-progress update, or recovering from a failed update, see Updating & lifecycle.

​
Deleting a container

Click Delete on a container to permanently remove it. This:
  • Stops the running enclave
  • Cancels any in-progress update
  • Deletes the container’s secret bindings
  • Removes the container from your org
Deletion is irreversible. The container’s configuration, secret bindings, and environment variables are permanently removed.

​
Using the CLI

The Tinfoil CLI exposes the same lifecycle: 
tinfoil container list                  # all containers in the org
tinfoil container get my-api            # full detail (status, host, resources)
tinfoil container stop my-api           # pause without deleting
tinfoil container start my-api          # resume with saved config
tinfoil container delete my-api         # permanent
See the CLI reference for create flags, update controls, and scripting tips.
