To me "suspend" and "resume" are a bit long winded. I would like to use "stop" and "start" instead (or perhaps as well as via an alias).
It would also be useful to have a "restart" command. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305943

There was some thinking on the topic of names while this was still mediawiki-docker-dev
https://github.com/addshore/mediawiki-docker-dev/issues/80
(issue archived so I'll quote the content here...
Currently, the names for the subset of scripts that change the existence or state of the environment, are:
- mdd up
- mdd down
- mdd stop
- mdd start
And soon:
- mdd setup – Add setup script #76
Proposal:
- mdd install
- mdd create
- mdd destroy
- mdd suspend
- mdd resume
I have inadvertently destroyed my database with “down” before; “destroy” and “suspend” would be more clear IMO.
Sounds like a great naming change.
I guess the only sensible thing to do would be to have aliases?
But I wonder if the defaults should then also switch to stop, start, restart etc.?

Can you write this as a separate ticket please?

Yeah, alias seem like a good idea =)

I think that "start" and "stop" is clearer than "resume" and "suspend". The containers are stopped not paused. I don't think using "stop" would add any confusion/ambiguity with any other commands (e.g. "destroy"). It would also look more natural along side a "restart" command (if that is implemented) as opposed to "resume"/"suspend"/"restart".
