docker-container-rm - Remove one or more containers

Description

dockercontainerrm will remove one or more containers from the host node. The container name or ID can
       be used. This does not remove images. You cannot remove a running container unless you use the -f option.
       To see all containers on a host use the dockercontainerls-a command.

Examples

Name

       docker-container-rm - Remove one or more containers

Options

-f, --force[=false]      Force the removal of a running container (uses SIGKILL)

       -h, --help[=false]      help for rm

       -l, --link[=false]      Remove the specified link

       -v, --volumes[=false]      Remove anonymous volumes associated with the container

Removing A Container And All Associated Volumes

       $ docker container 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.

       $ docker create -v awesome:/foo -v /bar --name hello redis
       hello
       $ docker container rm -v hello

       In this example, the volume for /foo will remain in tact, but the volume for /bar will  be  removed.  The
       same behavior holds for volumes inherited with --volumes-from.

Removing A Container Using Its Id

       To remove a container using its ID, find either from a dockerps-a command, or use the ID returned  from
       the dockerrun command, or retrieve it from a file used to store it using the dockerrun--cidfile:

       docker container rm abebf7571666

Removing A Container Using The Container Name

       The name of the container can be found using the dockerps-a command. The use that name as follows:

       docker container rm hopeful_morse
