Command for restarting all running docker containers?

Solution 1:

Just run

docker restart $(docker ps -q)

Update

For restarting ALL (stopped and running) containers use docker restart $(docker ps -a -q) as in answer lower.

Solution 2:

For me its now :

docker restart $(docker ps -a -q)

Solution 3:

If you have docker-compose, all you need to do is:

docker-compose restart 

And you get nice print out of the container's name along with its status of the restart (done/error)

Here is the official guide for installing: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Solution 4:

To start only stopped containers:

docker start $(docker ps -a -q -f status=exited)

(On windows it works in Powershell).

Solution 5:

To start all the containers:

  docker restart $(docker ps -a -q)

Use sudo if you don't have permission to perform this:

sudo docker restart $(sudo docker ps -a -q)
