Removing a Docker container without using aa-remove-unknown command

Question

I'm trying to stop the docker container, but I can't because permission is denied

Error response from daemon: cannot stop container: : permission denied

I found the "aa-remove-unknown" command, but I don't think it suits me. Is it possible to stop the container without this command and without restarting Linux?

For the container, I added the configuration "--privileged".

I will appreciate any hint. Thanks.

I agree that using aa-remove-unknown is undesirable (in fact I consider it to be very bad advice).

If you are considering using aa-remove-unknown then run sudo aa-remove-unknown -n. In my case on Ubuntu 23.10 I get quite a big list!

Instead, to temporarily get around the issue, you can do:

sudo service apparmor stop
docker-compose down
sudo service apparmor start
