How Do I Completely Remove A Docker Container And All Dependencies?
I’m using tessypowder/backblaze-personal-wine, and I need to reinstall it due to some drive changes. I have tried docker rm [container ID], but when I add the container again, it seems to be stuck with the old wine settings. I have also tried adding it with a new name so it would theoretically be a totally new container, but that also seemed to inherit the broken wine settings.
I noticed that when I first install a container, there is a long ID string that seems to represent the container along with all the dependencies, but when I use docker ps, it only shows me a shorter string that seems to represent Backblaze alone. Should I be using rm with the longer string to remove wine too? If so, how can I get the terminal to display the full ID again so I can accomplish a full removal?
tl;dr How can I do a full removal of a docker container an all sub-programs (such as wine) that were installed along with it?
rm the container, then run
docker system prune -a
. This will remove all unused docker images, containers, networks, volumes, etc.Don't quote me on this, but I think you'd have to add
--volumes
Didn’t end up needing to add —volumes. -a did the trick.
Betting that
-a
includes--volumes
. 👍Correct. The -a stands for all
Thanks, this worked perfectly!
Glad to help :)
