We have also available the option of removing containers using the filter option for the ps command, -f ( -filter). Or, if we prefer it, first stop all the containers and then remove them: docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)ĭocker rm $(docker ps -a -q) 3.2. If we are completely sure of forcing the removal, we can use the -q option: docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) Of course, we would get the same error as in the previous chapter if we execute that command with a running container, we will get an error. Knowing this, it’s all about running this command in a subshell, for docker rm: docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) For the containers we created before, the output would be just the following: d80296418f95 The -a option is for listing all the containers, as you already probably know and the -q, is for “quite” mode, i.e., to show only the container ids. For this, first, we have to use the ps command in the following way: docker ps -a -q Some times, we may want to delete all the containers, and doing it one by one can take a while, if we have quite many. Or, force the removal with the -f ( -force) option: docker rm -f busybox3 3.1.

We can stop it and then delete it: docker stop busybox3 The message is clear enough: we cannot delete a running container, at least as the other containers. Stop the container before attempting removal or use -f If we try to remove the remaining container: docker rm busybox3Įrror response from daemon: You cannot remove a running container d80296418f95634e7cd8e90870d8592e73e014a9cd7d455a1683de6850205f0d. Or, also, by the name: docker rm busybox2 Which, for this case, the output is: CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS NAMESĭ80296418f95 busybox "sh" About a minute ago Up 3 seconds busybox3ĭf2424cd3d10 busybox "sh" About a minute ago Exited (0) 4 seconds ago busybox2ġba6b04dbddf busybox "sh" About a minute ago Exited (0) 4 seconds ago furious_crayĪs we said, we can delete the containers by the id: docker rm 1ba6b04dbddf

Removing Docker containers is so easy: docker rm įirst, let’s list our containers with: docker rm Note: the difference between the last container with the previous two, is that we keep it alive (achieved with -i and -t, and then detached with -d). Let’s create some containers: docker run busyboxĭocker run -name=busybox3 -i -t -d busybox Let’s pull a Busybox image: docker pull busybox 2.2. You don’t have to have an account for pulling images. The easiest way to obtain a Docker image is to pull one from the Docker Hub. Pulling a sample imageĪs you should know, before creating containers, we need Docker images.
#Docker remove container id install
We can install Docker simply via apt-get, without the need of adding any repository, just installing the docker.io package: sudo apt-get updateįor more details, you can follow the Install Docker on Ubuntu Tutorial. Note: Docker requires a 64-bit system with a kernel version equal or higher to 3.10. You may skip Docker installation and jump directly to the beginning of the example below.
