Everytime I restart, I see loads of dockerd -h fd// processes when I run htop on ubuntu

I want to kill all of these processes (I have no idea why they're being run upon restart, but they're massively reducing my cpu performance.)

I tried every suggestion here Stop and remove all docker containers but nothing worked: the processes are still running.

How do I fix this?

First verify if you do not have containers that are still running :docker container ps, if you have containers that are still running stop them docker stop container1 container2 or even docker stop $(docker ps -q)and verify if the cpu performance issue persists.

Then verify the status of docker service: sudo systemctl status docker here you can see different things that may help you : enter image description here

Afterwards you can restart/stop and even disable the auto-restart of the docker daemon if you want :

sudo systemctl restart docker
sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo systemctl disable docker

And if you want to start the service again at boot time sudo systemctl enable docker and verify if the problem persists.

PS: If you do not have systemctl, use the service command.

you can see the proccess of the docker containers by using :

1 - docker ps -a

and then stop :

2- docker stop Container-ID

and then you can remove it :

3- docker rm Container-ID
