How to stop running Container, if error response from daemon is: Cannot Kill Container [...] permission denied?


I solved it but I am not sure why. I think I solved it by restarting the VM and restart docker with these commands

Flush changes: $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Restart Docker: $ sudo systemctl restart docker


Use trick:

sudo killall docker-containerd-shim

to free the docker from stopped container stuck like this


Have you tried docker stop <container-id> or docker kill <container-id> ?

Note: Use docker ps -a to get container IDs

Also, are you using sudo or logged as root?
