+title: Stop all running containers with Docker
+url: /stop-all-running-containers-with-docker/
+---
+
+These are some handy snippets I use on a regular basis when managing containers. I have one server in particular that can sometimes end up with 50 to 100 orphaned containers for various reasons. The easiest/quickest way to stop all of them is to do something like this:
+
+```
+docker container stop $(docker container ps -q)
+```
+
+Let me break this down in case you are not familiar with the syntax. Basically we are passing the output of `docker container ps -q` into docker container stop. This works because the stop command can take a list of container ids which is what we get when passing the `-q` flag to docker container ps.
