Remove container from Docker - Portainer

 

You already know how to install PORTAINER in docker, otherwise, you are not supposed to search for removing it.

Here I am putting some easy commands that might help you to remove easily the portainer or any other container as well from your docker.

1. First, find all Docker containers list using the command:

docker container ls -a

2. stop the specific container, enter the following command:

docker container stop [container_id]

To stop all containers, enter: (ignore if you are you doing this for all)

docker container stop $(docker container ls –aq)

3. To remove the stopped container, use the command:

docker container rm [container_id]

To remove all stopped containers: (ignore if you are you doing this for all)

docker container rm $(docker container ls –aq)

Here I am mentioning that I did for removing my portainer from my docker.
