Recently, my container stopped working and moved to “exited” status. I tried starting the container by I got the error
Error response from daemon: container "container id": already exists
I managed to resolve the issue by using the following command as advised in the below link
docker-containerd-ctr --namespace moby --address /run/docker/containerd/docker-containerd.sock c rm <container id>
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any explanation on the resolution. Can someone break down the command? As always, any help is much appreciated.
