I try to clear my current docker containers, but I got permission denied errors :

usernam2@ubuntuOS:/ProjectPath/DOCKER$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

I suppose I have no tio run them as root, but even running asroot I got the same errors .

How can it be fixed ?

Thanks!

you have to either kill/stop all the running containers before removing them. It can be killed/stopped via running the cmd below

docker kill $(docker ps -q)

         or

docker stop $(docker ps -aq)

and then remove them via

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

  • try `sudo docker kill $(docker ps -q)` – prakash sellathurai Sep 03 '21 at 14:41

  • I restarted OS : did not help. Maybe some internal error? If there is a way to reinit docker ? – Petro Gromovo Sep 03 '21 at 15:01
  • if docker always restarts even when you stopped it then chances are that you enabled `--restart=always`.if that's a case this might solve your question [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39072357/how-to-stop-a-docker-container-which-started-with-restart-always](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39072357/how-to-stop-a-docker-container-which-started-with-restart-always) – prakash sellathurai Sep 03 '21 at 15:13

It can be related to AppArmor. Check if you have multiple docker instances installed from different sources as it can result with conflicting AppArmor profiles.

As I can see you are using Ubuntu - so it's possible that you have additional docker provided via snap.
