[Question] How to stop the Docker containers from Visual Studio 2017?

Hello,

How to stop the containers that was run by Docker Compose? I click “Stop Debug” (Shift + F5) from Visual Studio 2017 but the containers are still running. Also tried docker-compose stop to no avail.

I have tried “Build -> Clean Solution” but I don’t want to clean everything.

Thanks.

Afaik, the only way to do it from VS would be to do a “Clean Solution”. Other choices:

• From docker CLI
• Restarting Docker, which is worse (needs more time)

Hi @chess-equality,

There’s no way to do that that I’m aware of, but you can do it from the command line with this command:

docker container stop $(docker container ls -a -q)

You can also create a container with Portainer with this batch and keep it on the desktop 😉

docker start portainer
if errorlevel 1 docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" --name portainer portainer/portainer --no-auth
rem wait for 5 seconds
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
start http://localhost:9000

Hope this helps.
