Useful Docker Commands

Today I learned some docker commands, let me share it with you:

To stop all containers simply type:

docker kill $(docker ps -q)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

docker ps - list all running containers

flag -q - displays only ids of these containers

docker kill - stops containers

If you want to remove all containers use the command:

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

docker rm - removes containers

flag -a - lists all containers not only running ones

The rest is similar to previous command

To remove all docker images type:

docker rmi $(docker images -q)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

docker rmi - removes images

docker images - q - lists ids of all images
