Removes stopped service containers

NAME

docker-compose-rm - Removes stopped service containers

SYNOPSIS

docker compose rm [OPTIONS] [SERVICE...]

DESCRIPTION

Removes stopped service containers.

By default, anonymous volumes attached to containers are not removed. You can override this with -v. To list all volumes, use docker volume ls.

Any data which is not in a volume is lost.

Running the command with no options also removes one-off containers created by docker compose run:

$ docker compose rm
Going to remove djangoquickstart_web_run_1
Are you sure? [yN] y
Removing djangoquickstart_web_run_1 ... done

OPTIONS

-f, --force[=false]
Don't ask to confirm removal

-h, --help[=false]
help for rm

-s, --stop[=false]
Stop the containers, if required, before removing

-v, --volumes[=false]
Remove any anonymous volumes attached to containers

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

--dry-run[=false]
Execute command in dry run mode
