How do i quit ctrl + C does not seem to work. Currently I have to open another terminal to stop the docker. Is this the only option?

Answer 1

If you use -t and -i then Control-C will terminate the container. When using -i with -t then you have to use Control-P Control-Q to detach without terminating

Test 1:

$ ID=$(sudo docker run -t -d ubuntu /usr/bin/top -b)
$ sudo docker attach $ID
Control-C
$ sudo docker ps

The container is still listed.

Test 2:

$ ID=$(sudo docker run -t -i -d ubuntu /usr/bin/top -b)
$ sudo docker attach $ID
Control-C
$ sudo docker ps

The container is terminated
