docker logs $CONTAINER_NAME --since=10m
  • Inspect a running Container

Find-and-replace $CONTAINER_NAME with the actual name

docker inspect $CONTAINER_NAME
  • See resources for a running Container

Find-and-replace $CONTAINER_NAME with the actual name

docker stats $CONTAINER_NAME
  • Execute commands on a running Container

Find-and-replace $CONTAINER_NAME with the actual name

### Access a running Container
docker exec -it $CONTAINER_NAME bash
  • Uninstall vFunction
docker stop vfunction-monit
systemctl restart docker
docker rm $(docker ps -a -f "name=vfunction" -q)
docker network rm vfunction
docker volume rm mysql_vol vfapi_measurements_storage_vol
