Cleaning up orphaned docker containers after Jenkins job is terminated
Well you can have a cleanup command in the first and last step of your job, for example, first clean old deads, then rename the existing contailer to old_$jobname and kill it
docker container prune -fdocker rename $jobname old$jobnamedocker kill old$jobnamedo whatever you need
launch your new container- docker run --name $jobname$
By the looks of things, people are handling this outside of docker.
They are adding Jenkins post-build steps that clean up orphaned docker containers on aborted or failed builds.
See Martin Kenneth's build script as an example.
