kill all docker containers at once...

docker_kill.sh

docker ps | awk {' print $1 '} | tail -n+2 > tmp.txt; for line in $(cat tmp.txt); do docker kill $line; done; rm tmp.txt

docker system prune

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune/

This is the preferred way. Removes all volumes / images / networks and everything else.

Note: only not running containers. So you might want to shut all containers down first.

docker rm -f $(docker ps -f name=IMAGE_NAME -q) || true

• rm -f stops and removes the containers
• when nothing is running the rm fails

so using this:
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq) >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

On macOS this is my way to go (adapted from @timka):

docker ps -q | xargs docker stop ; docker system prune -a

@coolavibv that was smooth ... dang github needs a tangent thread like reddit now .. cheers

remove all containers forcefully
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)

remove all docker images forcefully
docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)

@gdevdeiv This work for me!!! Tks!

good- very helpful.

cool

thanks @gdevdeiv this was a lifesaver: https://gist.github.com/evanscottgray/8571828#gistcomment-2594902

Thanks @gdevdeiv...

docker dance $(docker ps -q)

#stop all containers:
docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

#stop all containers by force
docker kill $(docker ps -q)

#remove all containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

#remove all docker images
docker rmi $(docker images -q)

#purge the rest
docker system prune --all --force --volumes

Thanks!

docker kill [ID]

To get the ID of the running container, run:
docker ps

example:

docker kill b0e6f105b024

@francolaiuppa lol bash fu

Thanks, helped.

Thank you all

@evanscottgray that's a terrible way to do it. As others have pointed out, do not do this, but:
docker kill $(docker ps -q)

why is there not simply a docker container stop --all or something similar for windows? Sorry if this question has already been answered

If you want to be a hipster and stop all running containers using the management commands than use this.

docker container stop $(docker container ls -q)

docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)

@eenchev completely agree. When I wrote this like six years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. 😅

...and some would argue that not much has changed!

These days I use something closer to docker ps -qa | xargs docker stop.

docker container stop $(docker container ls -q)

thanks, worked like a charm !!

All didn't work for me

I used docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

All did n't work for me

I used docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

docker kill, not stop

doing it like this:
https://gist.github.com/digitalist/abf3320fa5ad937015cca15920e25acc

sudo docker kill $(sudo docker ps -q)

Why not something like docker stopall ?

docker kill $(sudo docker ps -q)

This is great, thanks @webdev23 !
