**Note:** [distroless](../Dockerfile.distroless) image contains only a statically linked sftpgo binary and its minimal runtime dependencies. Shell is not available on this image.
### Container graceful shutdown
```shell
docker run --name some-sftpgo \
-p 2022:2022 \
-e SFTPGO_GRACE_TIME=32 \
-d "drakkan/sftpgo:tag"
```
Setting the SFTPGO_GRACE_TIME environment variable to a non zero value when creating or running a container will enable a graceful shutdown period in seconds that will allow existing connections to hopefully complete before being forcibly closed when the time has passed.
```shell
echo "put 10G.dd" | sftp -P 2022 testuser@sftpgo.example.net
Connected to sftpgo.example.net.
sftp> put 10G.dd
Uploading 10G.dd to /10G.dd
10G.dd 17% 1758MB 100.9MB/s 01:24 ETA
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
Connection closed.
```
While the SFTPGO container is in graceful shutdown mode waiting for the last connection(s) to finish, no new connections will be allowed.
```shell
Fri 23 Dec 2022 08:47:41 AM UTC
Connected to sftpgo.example.net.
sftp> put d.txt
Uploading d.txt to /d.txt
d.txt 100% 323 216.9KB/s 00:00
Fri 23 Dec 2022 08:47:42 AM UTC
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed.
```
If no connections are active or SFTPGO_GRACE_TIME=0 the container will shutdown immediately.
### Where to Store Data
Important note: There are several ways to store data used by applications that run in Docker containers. We encourage users of the SFTPGo images to familiarize themselves with the options available, including:
