How to gracefully exit and remove docker-compose services after issuing CTRL-C?

Hi,

I have a docker-compose service that runs django using gunicorn in an entrypoint shell script.

When I issue CTRL-C after the docker-compose stack has been started, the web and nginx services do not gracefully exit and are not deleted. How do I configure the docker environment so that the services are removed when a CTRL-C is issued?

I have tried using stop_signal: SIGINT but the result is the same. Any ideas?

docker-compose log after CTRL-C issued

^CGracefully stopping... (press Ctrl+C again to force)
Killing nginx  ... done
Killing web    ... done

docker containers after CTRL-C is issued

Hi, just type “docker-compose down” in another terminal or after CTRL-C and all your Exited containers will be removed

Many thanks. Yes, currently, that is what I have to do to terminate the containers. Is there anyway of making the containers exit gracefully and cleanly upon receipt of a CTRL-C signal, without requiring this additional manual step?
