single command to stop and remove docker container
You can use :
docker rm -f CONTAINER_ID
It will remove the container even if it is still running.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/rm/
You can also run your containers with --rm
option, it will be automatically removed when stopped.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up-rm
Edit: The rm -f
might be dangerous for your data and is best suited for test or development containers. @Bernard's comment on this subject is worth reading.
docker stop CONTAINER_ID | xargs docker rm
You can stop and remove the container with a single command the $_
gives you the last echo
docker stop CONTAINER && docker rm $_
In my case, to remove the running containers I used
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)
In case you also need to remove the images, then run
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
afterwards.
Only run docker rmi $(docker images -q)
if you want to remove the images.
