Delete a sedex Client Docker Container

A sedex Client container can be deleted like any other Docker container.

Reasons for deleting a sedex Client Container

There are several reasons for deleting a sedex Client Docker container:

• The container has to be moved to another Docker host.
• The container has to be updated to a newer version.
• The container has to be decommissioned.

Delete the container - but not its permanent storage!

Containers are disposable and can be deleted and recreated as often as you like. However, this does not apply to the external permanent storage ("sedex-interface" and "sedex-data"). You should not delete these folders because they will be needed in their current state when creating a new sedex Client Docker container.

Delete the sedex Client container

The sedex Client container can be deleted like any other Docker container.

First stop the sedex Client container and then delete it as follows:

$ docker stop sedex-client
$ docker container rm sedex-client 

Graeceful shutdown takes time

Stopping a sedex Client container can take up to about 65 seconds. This allows the sedex Client to gracefully shutdown and clean up temporary data.
