Removing a running container in Docker

DockerCLI: Containersrmbeginner

What this snippet does

A running container must be stopped first, or removed with -f.

Expected output

Error response from daemon: cannot remove container "api": container is running

Why practise typing this

Typing cli: containers code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
