Hello,  
is a “normal” shutdown via SSH graceful enough for shutting down umbrel?  
Or does shutdown in the web gui something more (like running the stop script)?

Background: I want to connect umbrel to an [USP-Server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply); which is configured like as follows:  
`SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"`

I saw docker included in [/etc/rc0.d/](https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Archiv/SysVinit/#:~:text=Der%20Standard%2DRunlevel%20unter%20Debian%20und%20Ubuntu%20ist%202%20)  
`K01docker -> ../init.d/docker`  
So docker will be part of the shutdown routine.  
I guess this is it, isn’t it?

Thanks for help 🙂

Hello,

Are you running on a Raspberry Pi where it was setup by you flashing the SD card, etc? If so, that means you’re running Umbrel OS (debian-based distro) where we use `systemd` to start and stop Umbrel. Therefore when you shutdown like that it will gracefully shutdown Umbrel, docker, etc.

I hope that helps!  
Steve

Sorry, yes it’s a Pi4. I forgot to mention that 😅  
Thanks!
