# Prevent Containers From Running On Startup
|
|
|
|
I have a bunch of docker containers managed by Docker Desktop. Some are related
|
|
to projects I'm actively working on. Whereas many others are inactive projects.
|
|
|
|
When I restart my machine, regardless of which containers I had running or
|
|
turned off, several of them are booted into a running state on startup. This is
|
|
becaue their restart policy is set to `always`. That's fine for the project I'm
|
|
actively working on, but the others I would like to be _off_ by default.
|
|
|
|
I need to update each of their restart policies from `always` to `no`.
|
|
|
|
First, I need to figure out their container IDs:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker ps --all
|
|
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
|
|
eb7b40aeba2d postgres:latest "docker-entrypoint.s…" 3 months ago Up 11 minutes 0.0.0.0:9875->5432/tcp still-postgres-1
|
|
eb9ab2213f2b postgres:latest "docker-entrypoint.s…" 3 months ago Exited (0) 11 minutes ago next-drizzle-migration-repro-app-postgres-1
|
|
ba792e185734 postgres:latest "docker-entrypoint.s…" 4 months ago Up 11 minutes 0.0.0.0:9876->5432/tcp better_reads-postgres-1
|
|
3139f9beae76 postgres:latest "docker-entrypoint.s…" 9 months ago Exited (128) 7 months ago basic-next-prisma-postgres-1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Referencing the `CONTAINER ID` and `NAMES` columns, I'm able to then inspect
|
|
each container and see the current `RestartPolicy`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker inspect eb9ab2213f2b | grep -A3 RestartPolicy
|
|
"RestartPolicy": {
|
|
"Name": "always",
|
|
"MaximumRetryCount": 0
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I can then update the `RestartPolicy` to be `no`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker update --restart no eb9ab2213f2b
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inpsecting that container again, I can see the updated policy:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker inspect eb9ab2213f2b | grep -A3 RestartPolicy
|
|
"RestartPolicy": {
|
|
"Name": "no",
|
|
"MaximumRetryCount": 0
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rinse and repeat for each of the offending containers.
