|
|
### Remove a container
|
|
|
|
This will remove the container referenced under the link
|
|
`/redis`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker rm /redis
|
|
|
|
/redis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Remove a link specified with `--link` on the default bridge network
|
|
|
|
This will remove the underlying link between `/webapp` and the `/redis`
|
|
containers on the default bridge network, removing all network communication
|
|
between the two containers. This does not apply when `--link` is used with
|
|
user-specified networks.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker rm --link /webapp/redis
|
|
|
|
/webapp/redis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Force-remove a running container
|
|
|
|
This command will force-remove a running container.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker rm --force redis
|
|
|
|
redis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The main process inside the container referenced under the link `redis` will receive
|
|
`SIGKILL`, then the container will be removed.
|
|
|
|
### Remove all stopped containers
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will delete all stopped containers. The command
|
|
`docker ps -a -q` will return all existing container IDs and pass them to
|
|
the `rm` command which will delete them. Any running containers will not be
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
### Remove a container and its volumes
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker rm -v redis
|
|
redis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will remove the container and any volumes associated with it.
|
|
Note that if a volume was specified with a name, it will not be removed.
|
|
|
|
### Remove a container and selectively remove volumes
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker create -v awesome:/foo -v /bar --name hello redis
|
|
hello
|
|
$ docker rm -v hello
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example, the volume for `/foo` will remain intact, but the volume for
|
|
`/bar` will be removed. The same behavior holds for volumes inherited with
|
|
`--volumes-from`.
