How to uninstall a dockerized service

If, at some point, you want to remove a dockerized service, you can do by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the service

   In GeneralExample

   docker compose stop <your_service>
   

   cd ~/services
   docker compose stop caddy
   

2. Remove the service.

   In GeneralExample

   docker compose rm <your_service>
   

   docker compose rm caddy
   

3. Remove the service image

   Use this command to find the image used by your service:

   In GeneralExample

   docker images | grep <your_service>
   

   docker images | grep caddy
   

   The 3rd column should contain your service's IMAGE ID (e.g b9bbeefe771a).

   Then, remove the it:

   In GeneralExample

   docker rmi <IMAGE ID>
   

   docker rmi b9bbeefe771a
   

4. Remove the folder

   In GeneralExample

   cd ~/services
   rm -rf <your_service> # might need sudo
   

   cd ~/services
   rm -rf caddy # might need sudo
