Instead of the name of the container you can usually just enter the first 2 to 3 characters of
the container id, which you can get using docker ps
. It depends on how many characters are
required for identifying the beginning of the container id unambigously.
List running containers:
docker ps
Stop running container “properly”
docker stop <CONTAINER-NAME>
Kill running container:
docker kill <CONTAINER-NAME>
Copy files out of a running container
docker cp <CONTAINER-NAME>:<PFAD-UND-DATEI> <ZIEL>
Copy files into a running container:
docker cp <ZIEL> <CONTAINER-NAME>:<PFAD-UND-DATEI>
