docker error - 'name is already in use by container'

Question

Running the docker registry with below command always throws an error:

dev:tmp me$ docker run \\
     -d --name registry-v1 \\
     -e SETTINGS_         


        

Answer 1

Here is how I solved this on ubuntu 18:

1. $ sudo docker ps -a
2. copy the container ID

For each container do:

3. $ sudo docker stop container_ID
4. $ sudo docker rm container_ID
