CLI Machines Docker Rm

`ed machines docker rm`

Removes a container, killing it first.

ed machines docker rm [--json] <machine> <container>...

Arguments

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`<machine>`	machine name, ssh alias, id, or any unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine to act on.
`<container>...`	one or more container names or ids	at least one required	Which containers to remove. Docker is given all of them in one call.

Options

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--json`	flag	off	Emit JSON on stdout instead of the one-line confirmation.
`--help`, `-h`	flag	off	Print the help for this command on stdout and exit 0.

`--json` shape

{
  "action": "rm",
  "containers": [
    "open-webui"
  ],
  "machine": "Asus TUF 7"
}

Examples

ed machines tuf docker rm open-webui
ed machines tuf docker rm b556d7fef23e --json

Behaviour notes

The remote command is docker rm -f <container>, so this kills a running container and removes it in one step rather than refusing to touch it. There is no --yes on this verb: it acts immediately, on the first try. The container's writable layer goes with it, and anything the container wrote outside a volume or a bind mount is gone. Named volumes survive, because -v is never passed.

Runs under a 120 second ceiling. Failure exits 1 with docker's stderr as the hint. This is the Docker window's remove button, running the same command.
