How to kill container generated by docker-compose?
Check out running containers:
docker ps
Example output:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
e86521d81a96 app_php "docker-php-entrypoi…" 2 hours ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp app_php_1
7a30681b6255 mysql:5.6 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 3 hours ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp app_db_1
21aa3eef5f42 phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin "/run.sh supervisord…" 4 hours ago Up About an hour 9000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8081->80/tcp app_phpmyadmin_1
9afc52b3f82f mailhog/mailhog "MailHog" 4 hours ago Up About an hour 1025/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8082->8025/tcp app_mailhog_1
then stop one by the container id:
docker kill part_of_the_id/name
For instance:
docker kill e86
or docker kill app_php_1
Docker-compose is just a script to help you manage one or multiple containers running in a group and is absolutely not required to manage your containers.
To remove the container completely you have to remove the container docker rm container_id_or_name
To stop all running containers:
docker stop $(docker ps -q)
Usual
docker run
can be "killed" by usualdocker stop
, because after stop I not see the container atdocker ps
.
No. docker stop
just stops a running container, it doesn' t remove the container. This happens only in case you've used docker run --rm ...
. This --rm
option means that when the container is stopped, it will be removed/deleted.
Docker
docker run ...
creates and runs a containerdocker stop ...
stops a running containerdocker start ...
starts a stopped containerdocker rm ...
removes a stopped container
Docker Compose
docker-compose up
creates and runs a collection of containersdocker-compose stop
stops the containersdocker-compose start
starts the containersdocker-compose down
stops and removes the containers
Be careful...
As it discussed in the comments section, by using docker-compose down
other things can also take place regarding volumes
, networks
. Keep in mind that you might lose data (if your container is a database for example) and make sure you have saved them or you are somehow able to create them again.
