Operate application

Use the list, info, and logs commands to monitor and manage EigenCompute applications.

Use the start, stop, and terminate commands to change application state.

When starting a previously stopped application​

  • Wallet persists - Same MNEMONIC is available
  • IP persists - Usually keeps the same instance IP
  • State reset - In-memory state is lost (use external storage for persistence)
  • Logs preserved - Previous logs may still be available

When stopping​

  • No requests - App doesn't accept requests while stopped
  • Logs preserved - Can still view logs
  • Costs reduced - Lower costs while stopped (but not zero)

Before terminating​

Irreversible Action

Termination is permanent and irreversible. The TEE wallet mnemonic becomes inaccessible. Any funds in the wallet will be lost forever.

  • Critical: Withdraw all funds from TEE wallet
  • Backup logs: ecloud compute app logs my-app > backup.log
  • Document configuration
  • Verify app is no longer needed
  • Check for any dependent services

What gets deleted when terminating​

When you terminate an app:

  • TEE instance
  • Docker container
  • Environment variables
  • App configuration
  • TEE wallet access (LOST FOREVER)
  • App name (can be reused)
Irreversible Action

Termination is permanent and irreversible. The TEE wallet mnemonic becomes inaccessible. Any funds in the wallet will be lost forever.

Behavior​

  • Immediate - Takes effect after transaction confirmation
  • Permanent - Cannot be undone
  • Name available - App name can be reused for new deployments
  • ID retired - App ID is never reused

Safe Termination Workflow​

# 1. Stop the app first
ecloud compute app stop my-app

# 2. Get wallet address
ecloud compute app info my-app
# Note the TEE Wallet address

# 3. Check for funds
# Use a blockchain explorer or Etherscan

# 4. Withdraw funds (from within your app code)
# Transfer to a safe address

# 5. Terminate
ecloud compute app terminate my-app
