Stopping Docker containers by image name - Ubuntu

Question

On Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) I\'m looking for a way to stop a running container and the only information I have is the image name that was used in the Docker run comma

Answer 1

In my case --filter ancestor= was not working, so the following command cleaned up the Docker container for me:

docker rm $(docker stop $(docker ps -a -q --filter "name=container_name_here" --format="{{.ID}}"))
