JupyterHub use logout does not stop docker container

Question

I successfully configured jupyterhub on google cloud using very basic DummyAuthenticator and Docker Spawner following this tutorial: https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-deploy-docker Everything is ok, but when the user logouts its docker container is still running. I was expecting that the container will be stopped when it is unused. It is a waste of resources for my taste. Is there any chance to trigger that behavior?

I used this from the default configuration file jupyterhub generated.

Shuts down all user servers on logout

c.JupyterHub.shutdown_on_logout = True

Culling should be used to shutdown inactive servers while the user is still logged in.

I don't think JupyterHub automatically deletes any services just by logging out.

But you can use Cull-Idle. It provides a script to cull and shut down idle single-user notebook servers. And its pretty easy to use.

JupyterHub has an option to do this, no need for cull-service. See my answer. – Nandor Poka Apr 12 '20 at 19:26
I think `c.JupyterHub.shutdown_on_logout` is added from v1.0.0 of jupyterhub. Anyway thanks for the update. – saurssaurav Apr 14 '20 at 05:55
