Docker Troubleshooting

  • Check running containers
    docker ps
    
  • Stop a specific container
    docker stop CONTAINER-ID
    
  • Delete a specific container
    docker rm CONTAINER-ID
    
  • Check existing images
    docker images
    
  • Delete an existing image (all containers which use the image must be deleted)
    docker rmi IMAGE-ID
    
  • Delete all unused resources
    docker system prune -s
    
  • Debug a docker-compose container
    docker logs --tail 50 --follow --timestamps CONTAINER-NAME
    
  • Cleanup/clobber docker-compose to start over
    docker-compose down --rmi all --volumes  --remove-orphans
