docker + why we cant kill the container

we have Linux machine with the following container

docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                   COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
6de660db9fdb        kafka-exporter:v1.9.0   "/bin/kafka_export"   23 hours ago        Up 17 hours                             kafka-export

we want to kill the container so we did that:

docker kill 6de660db9fdb

but its hang for along time ( more then hour and not killed )

any advice how to stop/kill the container ?

Solution

  • You could try restarting the Docker service first:

    sudo systemctl restart docker

    And then removing the container with the force -f flag:

    sudo docker rm -f 6de660db9fdb
