> [@evoosa](#): > > pods are getting stuck on `okteto down -v` Can you share the output of this command? If you can run it with verbose logs, even better. Same for ` okteto up` , if that one is also getting stuck. ---

Hi @evoosa, What do you mean by pods getting stuck? Last events indicate the the pod was started: ```auto 7m48s Normal Pulling pod/webapp-566458858-42tnv Pulling image "okteto/node:14" 7m48s Normal Pulled pod/webapp-566458858-42tnv Successfully pulled image "okteto/node:14" in 160.08077ms 7m48s Normal Started pod/webapp-566458858-42tnv Started container app 7m48s Normal Created pod/webapp-566458858-42tnv ``` also, are you using Okteto Self-hosted? or only the Okteto CLI?
