Terminate the Docker container

You docker stop to terminate a running container.

In addition, when the app specified in the Docker container ends, the container is automatically terminated. For example, if only one terminal container was started in the previous section, exit created terminates immediately when the user exits the terminal through the exit command or Ctrl+d

Containers that terminate the state can docker ps -a command. For example

sudo docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                    COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS                          PORTS               NAMES

Containers that are in a terminated state can docker start command.

In addition, docker restart command terminates a running container and then restarts it.
