'How to kill container generated by docker-compose?

(sorry using the term "kill" with quotes is not about docker-compose kill, is about "UNIX ps kill" after what the process really go out of the "UNIX ps list")

Usual docker run can be "killed" by usual docker stop, because after stop I not see the container at docker ps -a... If it is correct, there are a semantic bug with docker-compose because I can't "kill" the containers, they stay at docker ps.

After my simple docker-compose up (without &) I do ^C and the containers stay there at docker ps -a... Impossible to kill by docker compose stop.

NOTE: when I use ordinary docker run and after it docker stop there are nothing at docker ps -a, so I can say "I killed it".

docker docker-compose

Check out running containers:

docker ps

Example output:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                   COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                              NAMES
e86521d81a96        app_php                 "docker-php-entrypoi…"   2 hours ago         Up About an hour    0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp               app_php_1

then stop one by the container id:

docker kill part_of_the_id/name

For instance:

docker kill e86 or docker kill app_php_1

Docker-compose is just a script to help you manage one or multiple containers running in a group and is absolutely not required to manage your containers.

To remove the container completely you have to remove the container docker rm container_id_or_name

To stop all running containers:

docker stop $(docker ps -q)

Solution 2:^[2]

You can use docker rm <container-name> to do that. This command will stop and remove service container. Anonymous volumes attached to the container will not be removed.
