Adding on top of  VonC superb answer  here is a ZSH function that you can add into your  zshrc file   dockstop       docker rm   docker stop   docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor   1  --format     ID          Then in your command line  simply do dockstop myImageName and it will stop and remove all containers that were started from an image called myImageName

Stop docker container by image name   imagename  mydockerimage  docker stop   docker ps   awk   split  2 image       print  1  image 1      awk -v image  imagename   2    image  print  1      Stop docker container by image name and tag   imagename  mydockerimage latest  docker stop   docker ps   awk -v image  imagename   2    image  print  1        If you created the image  you can add a label to it and filter running containers by label  docker ps -q --filter  label image  image      Unreliable methods  docker ps -a -q  --filter ancestor  lt image-name gt    does not always work  docker ps -a -q --filter  name  lt containerName gt     filters by container name  not image name  docker ps   grep  lt image-name gt    awk   print  1     is problematic since the image name may appear in other columns for other images

You can use the ps command to take a look at the running containers   docker ps -a   From there you should see the name of your container along with the container ID that you re looking for  Here s more information about docker ps

This code will stop all containers with the image centos 6  I couldn t find an easier solution for that   docker ps   grep centos 6   awk   print  1     xargs docker stop   Or even shorter   docker stop   docker ps -a   grep centos 6   awk   print  1

Following issue 8959  a good start would be   docker ps -a -q --filter  name  lt containerName gt     Since name refers to the container and not the image name  you would need to use the more recent Docker 1 9 filter ancestor  mentioned in koekiebox s answer   docker ps -a -q  --filter ancestor  lt image-name gt      As commented below by kiril  to remove those containers      stop returns the containers as well    So chaining stop and rm will do the job   docker rm   docker stop   docker ps -a -q --filter ancestor  lt image-name gt  --format     ID

If you want to prefer a simple AWK approach  here Is my take   docker rm -f   docker ps   awk    if  2      lt your image name gt      print  NF         docker ps   awk    if  2      lt your image name gt      print  NF     - prints the docker container names based on input image  docker ps - list all containers  awk    if  2      lt your-image-name gt      print  NF    - The second parsed column of docker ps gives the image name  Comparing it with your image name will execute print  NF which prints the container name   docker rm -f removes the containers  For example  removing all running containers of ubuntu image  can be done simply as   docker rm -f   docker ps   awk    if  2     ubuntu latest     print  NF       PS  Remember to include the image tag in AWK  since it s a equal comparator

I was trying to wrap my Docker commands in gulp tasks and realised that you can do the following   docker stop container-name docker rm container-name   This might not work for scenarios where you have multiple containers with the same name  if that s possible   but for my use case it was perfect

You could start the container setting a container name   docker run -d --name  lt container-name gt   lt image-name gt    The same image could be used to spin up multiple containers  so this is a good way to start a container  Then you could use this container-name to stop  attach    the container   docker exec -it  lt container-name gt  bash docker stop  lt container-name gt  docker rm  lt container-name gt

In my case --filter ancestor  lt image-name gt  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
