Problem: ERROR: error while removing network
I wanted to run docker-compose down but it failed due to the following error:
ERROR: error while removing network: network <your\_network> id cfcb4a603426f2cf71b1f971a9ecb0aae7e6c889a8dc4c55bfd1eb010d8a260b has active endpoints
Solution
To solve this just run docker network inspect <your_network> with the rights permissions. (You may also use sudo if you have the permission).
The output of that command is something like this:
[
{
"Name": "your\_network",
"Id": "cfcb4a603426f2cf71b1f971a9ecb0aae7e6c889a8dc4c55bfd1eb010d8a260b",
"Created": "2021-05-05T10:58:08.216143067+02:00",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "bridge",
"EnableIPv6": false,
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "default",
"Options": null,
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "10.0.38.0/24",
"Gateway": "10.0.38.1"
}
]
},
"Internal": false,
"Attachable": true,
"Ingress": false,
"ConfigFrom": {
"Network": ""
},
"ConfigOnly": false,
"Containers": {
"cf8f158e34d07bb3be8ff73e21fc688dce1ba13a5b941a7a59aff1373a74be8f": {
"Name": "phpmyadmin\_phpmyadmin\_1",
"EndpointID": "e77d58d75ee31a37ee2cced2658c36480c4f209d8eedf29d4d281f8073457eb1",
"MacAddress": "02:42:0a:00:26:05",
"IPv4Address": "10.0.38.5/24",
"IPv6Address": ""
}
},
"Options": {},
"Labels": {
"com.docker.compose.network": "default",
"com.docker.compose.project": "your\_project",
"com.docker.compose.version": "1.28.5"
}
}
]
In this case the network is your_network and the endpoint is in containers -> name.
Now you can use sudo docker network disconnect -f your_network phpmyadmin_phpmyadmin_1. This will disconnect the network from the instance, and you will be able to run docker-compose down without problems.
