First check the output of below command if it's gives the names of only those containers that you have to stop
docker-compose ps | grep server | awk '{print $1}'
If the list is right, then run
docker stop $(docker-compose ps | grep server | awk '{print $1}')
P.S. I haven't tested the above command. Let me know if it doesn't
You can simply use --filter option of ps command
Suppose you wanna look for 3 containers, which their names start with site
docker ps --filter name=site*
will show you stat of those three containers.
so use one of this to stop the containers
- docker ps --filter name=site* -aq | xargs docker stop
- docker stop $(docker ps --filter name=site* -aq)
I'm using puckel/docker-airflow with CeleryExecutor. It launches a total of 5 containers named like this
docker-airflow_flower_1_de2035f778e6
docker-airflow_redis_1_49d2e710e82b
..
While development, I often have to stop all above containers. However, I can't do a docker stop $(docker ps -aq) since I have other containers running on my machine too.
Is there a way to stop all containers who's names match a given pattern (for instance all containers who's names start with docker-airflow in above)?
From this article by #james-coyle, following command works for me
docker ps --filter name=docker-airflow* --filter status=running -aq | xargs docker stop
I believe docker CLI natively does not provide such a functionality, so we have to rely on filtering and good-old bash PIPE and xargs
UPDATE-1
Note that depending on your environment, you might have to do these
run docker commands with sudo (just prefix both docker .. commands above with sudo)
enclose name pattern in double-quotes --filter name="docker-airflow*" (particularly on zsh)
Better late than never ;). From this article. The following works for me:
Stop containers with names matching a given pattern:
$ docker container stop $(docker container ls -q --filter name=<pattern>)
On the other hand, if we want to start containers with names matching a given pattern:
$ docker container start $(docker container ls --all -q --filter name=<pattern>)
NOTE: For different environments related tips, #y2k-shubham's update is a good starting point.
Another approach using grep and docker ps:
To stop docker container matching the given pattern/list of pattern":
docker ps | grep -E "name_1|name_2|name_3" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker stop
To stop docker container excluding the given pattern/list of pattern:
docker ps | grep -Ev "name_1|name_2|name_3" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker stop

I can't ssh into docker manager and get service logs. I get "docker service logs" requires exactly 1 argument. error, when I ssh into my manager with
docker-machine ssh manager1
and run
docker logs --follow $(docker ps | grep redis | head -n1 | cut -d " " -f1)
everything works, but when I run the following command I get "docker service logs" requires exactly 1 argument.
docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service logs $(docker ps | grep redis | head -n1 | cut -d ' ' -f1) --follow"
how can I ssh into manager1 and pass the command to run?
docker ps has some filtering and output options that mean awk/grep etc are rarely needed.
docker-machine ssh manager1 sh -uexc 'echo;
cid=$(docker ps -q -f ancestor=redis -l);
docker service logs -f $cid || echo cid[$cid]'
docker ps options.
--filter , -f Filter output based on conditions provided
--format Pretty-print containers using a Go template
--last , -n Show n last created containers (includes all states)
--latest , -l Show the latest created container (includes all states)
I have script that stops containers and then removes them
docker stop $(docker ps -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
But I don't want to remove the docker container with name "my_docker".
How can I remove all containers except this one?
You can try this, which will
Filter out the unwanted item (grep -v), and then
returns the first column, which contains the container id
Run this command:
docker rm $(docker ps -a | grep -v "my_docker" | awk 'NR>1 {print $1}')
To use cut instead of awk, try this:
docker rm $(docker ps -a | grep -v "my_docker" | cut -d ' ' -f1)
Examples for awk/cut usage here: bash: shortest way to get n-th column of output
The title of the question asks for images, not containers. For those stumbling across this question looking to remove all images except one, you can use docker prune along with filter flags:
docker image prune -a --force --filter "label!=image_name"
replacing image_name with the name of your image.
You can also use the "until=" flag to prune your images by date.
This is what's actually happening docker rm $(List of container Ids). So it's just a matter of how you can filter the List of Container Ids.
For example: If you are looking to delete all the container but one with a specific container Id, then this docker rm $(docker ps -a -q | grep -v "my_container_id") will do the trick.
I achieved this by the following command:
docker image rm -f $(docker images -a | grep -v "image_repository_name" | awk 'NR>1 {print $1}')
For those, who want to exclude more than 1 container just add
grep -v "container_name2" |
after the grep -v "container_name1" command.
The final command might look like
docker rm $(docker ps -a | grep -v "my_docker1" | grep -v "my_docker2" | cut -d ' ' -f1)
I would prefer to test the container name using something along the lines of (untested)
docker inspect --format '{{ .Name }}' $(docker ps -aq)
this will give the names of the (running or not) containers, and you can filter and
docker rm
using this information
Using docker ps with --filter name=<my_docker>
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q | grep -v `docker ps -a -q --filter "name=my_docker"`)
Old question, but I like reviving posts.
For such case you could use Spotify's Docker GC: https://github.com/spotify/docker-gc#excluding-containers-from-garbage-collection
You could do:
echo "my_docker" >> /tmp/docker-gc-exclude-containers
echo '*' > /tmp/docker-gc-exclude
docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /etc:/etc:ro -v /tmp/docker-gc-exclude-containers:/etc/docker-gc-exclude-containers:ro -v /tmp/docker-gc-exclude:/etc/docker-gc-exclude:ro spotify/docker-gc
(if you would like to get your images cleaned off too, you can avoid mounting the docker-gc-exclude file)
To stop
docker stop $(docker ps -a -q | grep -v "my_container_id")
To remove
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q | grep -v "my_container_id")
Deletes all the images except node image
sudo docker rmi -f $(sudo docker image ls -a | grep -v "node" | awk 'NR>1 {print $3}')
I know its little late response but it can help any windows user. Here is the command I prepared:
docker rmi $(
docker image list -a --no-trunc --format "table {{.ID}},{{.Repository}}" |
Where-Object {
$_ -NOTMATCH "mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet" -and
$_ -NOTMATCH "ubuntu" -and
$_ -NOTMATCH "busybox" -and
$_ -NOTMATCH "alpine"
} | Select-Object -Skip 1 | %{ $_.Split(',')[0];}
)
Maybe you can start all the containers you don't want to prune. Then, run:
docker container prune -a
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?
If you know the image:tag exact container version
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:
stop returns 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}}"))
If you know only the image name (not image:tag)
As Alex Jansen points out in the comments:
The ancestor option does not support wildcard matching.
Alex proposes a solution, but the one I managed to run, when you have multiple containers running from the same image is (in your ~/.bashrc for instance):
dsi() { docker stop $(docker ps -a | awk -v i="^$1.*" '{if($2~i){print$1}}'); }
Then I just call in my bash session (after sourcing ~/.bashrc):
dsi alpine
And any container running from alpine.*:xxx would stop.
Meaning: any image whose name is starting with alpine.
You might need to tweak the awk -v i="^$1.*" if you want ^$1.* to be more precise.
From there, of course:
drmi() { docker rm $(dsi $1 | tr '\n' ' '); }
And a drmi alpine would stop and remove any alpine:xxx container.
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:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stop/
https://docs.docker.com/v1.8/reference/commandline/kill/
This will only stop all containers with image = "yourImgName" :
sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps | grep "yourImgName" | cut -d " " -f 1)
This will stop and remove all containers with image = "yourImgName" :
sudo docker rm $(sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -a | grep "yourImgName" | cut -d " " -f 1))
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")
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>
does not always work
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
list all containers with info and ID
docker ps
docker stop CONTAINER 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>))
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.
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}}"))
Adding on top of #VonC superb answer, here is a ZSH function that you can add into your .zshrc file:
dockstop() {
docker rm $(docker stop $(docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor="$1" --format="{{.ID}}"))
}
Then in your command line, simply do dockstop myImageName and it will stop and remove all containers that were started from an image called myImageName.
use: docker container stop $(docker container ls -q --filter ancestor=mongo)
(base) :~ user$ docker ps

This is my script to rebuild docker container, stop and start it again
docker pull [registry]/[image]:latest
docker build --no-cache -t [localregistry]/[localimagename]:latest -f compose.yaml context/
docker ps --no-trunc | grep [localimagename] | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker stop
docker run -d -p 8111:80 [localregistry]/[localimagename]:latest
note --no-trunc argument which shows the image name or other info in full lenght in the output
Here's a concise command which doesn't require you to specify the image tag (as most of these answers do):
docker stop $(docker ps -a | awk -v i="^${image_name}.*" '{if($2~i){print$1}}')
docker stop $(docker ps -a | grep "zalenium")
docker rm $(docker ps -a | grep "zalenium")
This should be enough.
If you want to prefer a simple AWK approach, here Is my take:
docker rm -f $(docker ps | awk '{ if($2 == "<your image name>") { print $NF}}')
$(docker ps | awk '{ if($2 == "<your image name>") { print $NF}}') - prints the docker container names based on input image
docker ps - list all containers
awk '{ if($2 == "<your-image-name>") { print $NF}}' - The second parsed column of docker ps gives the image name. Comparing it with your image name will execute print $NF which prints the container name.
docker rm -f removes the containers
For example, removing all running containers of ubuntu image, can be done simply as:
docker rm -f $(docker ps | awk '{ if($2 == "ubuntu:latest") { print $NF}}')
PS: Remember to include the image tag in AWK, since it's a equal comparator.
if you know a part of the container name you can use AWK with docker as following :
CONTAINER_IDS=$(docker ps -a | awk '($2 ~ /container.*/) {print $1}')
if [ -z "$CONTAINER_IDS" -o "$CONTAINER_IDS" == " " ]; then
echo "No containers available for deletion"
else
docker rm -f $CONTAINER_IDS

image: docker

script:
- container_id=$(docker ps -q -a -f status=running --filter name=todoapp)
- if [ -n "$container_id" ]; then
docker stop $container_id;
docker rm -f $container_id;
fi
- container_id=$(docker ps -q -a -f status=exited --filter name=todoapp)
- if [ -n "$container_id" ]; then
docker rm -f $container_id;
fi
- docker build -t app/creative .
- docker run -d -p 8081:80 --name todoapp app/creative
First, check for a running container with the command docker ps -q -a -f status=running --filter name=todoapp , if it finds one it stops and deletes the running container then check for any containers that are stopped and have the name todoapp using the command docker ps -q -a -f status=exited --filter name=todoapp, then it will remove the container if it's found.
Then it will build a new image and start a new container with the new build image.
As I have found out, if you stop the container, it can't be found with docker rm just incase anyone stumbles across this if you are wanting to replace a newly deployed image via gitlab-ci
There is an option in docker ps command -f status=exited which shows all the containers which are in stopped state.
container_id=$(docker ps -q -a -f status=exited --filter name=todoapp)
This command would only return container ids that are stopped and has name todoapp
Also, a better way to remove the stopped container is by using the -f or --force option with the docker rm command. This option will remove the container even if it is in a stopped state.
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.
