podman-container-cleanup - Clean up the container's network and mountpoints
podman container cleanup [
options]
container
[
container ...]
podman container cleanup cleans up exited
containers by removing
all mountpoints and network configuration from the host. The
container
name or
ID can be used. The cleanup command does not remove the
containers. Running
containers will not be cleaned up.
Sometimes container mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman
command was killed or the
container ran in daemon mode. This command is
automatically executed when
containers are run in daemon mode by the
conmon process when the
container exits.
Clean up all
containers.
The default is
false.
IMPORTANT: This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input
argument.
Clean up an exec session for a single
container. Can only be specified if
a single
container is being cleaned up (conflicts with
--all as
such). If
--rm is not specified, temporary files for the exec session
will be cleaned up; if it is, the exec session will be removed from the
container.
*IMPORTANT: Conflicts with
--rmi as the container is not being cleaned up
so the image cannot be removed.*
Instead of providing the
container ID or
name, use the last
created
container. If other methods than Podman are used to run
containers such as
CRI-O, the last started
container
could be from either of those methods.
The default is
false.
IMPORTANT: This OPTION is not available with the remote Podman client,
including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines. This OPTION does not need
a container name or ID as input argument.
After cleanup, remove the
container entirely.
The default is
false.
After cleanup, remove the image entirely.
The default is
false.
Clean up the container "mywebserver".
$ podman container cleanup mywebserver
Clean up the containers with the names "mywebserver",
"myflaskserver", "860a4b23".
$ podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
