On Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) I'm looking for a way to stop a running container and the only information I have is the image name that was used in the Docker run command.
Is there a command to find all the matching running containers that match that image name and stop them?
Following issue 8959, a good start would be:
docker ps -a -q --filter="name=<containerName>"
Since name refers to the container and not the image name, you would need to use the more recent Docker 1.9 filter ancestor, mentioned in koekiebox's answer.
docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor=<image-name>
As commented below by kiril, to remove those containers:
stopreturns the containers as well.
So chaining stop and rm will do the job:
docker rm $(docker stop $(docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor=<image-name> --format="{{.ID}}"))
The previous answers did not work for me, but this did:
docker stop $(docker ps -q --filter ancestor=<image-name> )
You could start the container setting a container name:
docker run -d --name <container-name> <image-name>
The same image could be used to spin up multiple containers, so this is a good way to start a container. Then you could use this container-name to stop, attach... the container:
docker exec -it <container-name> bash
docker stop <container-name>
docker rm <container-name>
This code will stop all containers with the image centos:6. I couldn't find an easier solution for that.
docker ps | grep centos:6 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker stop
Or even shorter:
docker stop $(docker ps -a | grep centos:6 | awk '{print $1}')
Two ways to stop running a container:
1. $docker stop container_ID
2. $docker kill container_ID
You can get running containers using the following command:
$docker ps
Following links for more information:
list all containers with info and ID
docker ps
docker stop CONTAINER ID
Stop docker container by image name:
imagename='mydockerimage'
docker stop $(docker ps | awk '{split($2,image,":"); print $1, image[1]}' | awk -v image=$imagename '$2 == image {print $1}')
Stop docker container by image name and tag:
imagename='mydockerimage:latest'
docker stop $(docker ps | awk -v image=$imagename '$2 == image {print $1}')
If you created the image, you can add a label to it and filter running containers by label
docker ps -q --filter "label=image=$image"
Unreliable methods
docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor=<image-name>
docker ps -a -q --filter="name=<containerName>"
filters by container name, not image name
docker ps | grep <image-name> | awk '{print $1}'
is problematic since the image name may appear in other columns for other images
I made a /usr/local/bin/docker.stop that takes in the image name (assumes you only have one running).
docker stop $(docker ps -q -f "name=$1")
In my case --filter ancestor=<image-name> was not working, so the following command cleaned up the Docker container for me:
docker rm $(docker stop $(docker ps -a -q --filter "name=container_name_here" --format="{{.ID}}"))
For Docker version 18.09.0 I found that format flag won't be needed
docker rm $(docker stop $(docker ps -a -q -f ancestor=<image-name>))
docker stop $(docker ps -a | grep "zalenium")
docker rm $(docker ps -a | grep "zalenium")
This should be enough.
I was trying to wrap my Docker commands in gulp tasks and realised that you can do the following:
docker stop container-name
docker rm container-name
This might not work for scenarios where you have multiple containers with the same name (if that's possible), but for my use case it was perfect.
You can use the ps command to take a look at the running containers:
docker ps -a
From there you should see the name of your container along with the container ID that you're looking for. Here's more information about docker ps.
