Kill a Docker Container

Question

For my node program, I created a Docker container and ran using the following.

docker run -p 4500:4500 node-app

PM2 was started in no-daemon mode. The shortcuts CTRL+C and quit do not work. I tried running docker stop node-app from another terminal window, but it didn't work. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Using the command below, you can view which docker containers are presently operating.

docker ps

Then copy the operating container's CONTAINER ID and run the command below.

docker stop container_id

That should do it!
