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

I was running into this issue that when I run docker rm (which usually works) I would get:

Error: No such image

The easiest solution to this is removing all stopped containers by running:

docker container prune
