如何使用 Docker 桌面停止 Docker（和 Kubernetes）？

Question

I'm running Docker Desktop for MacOS and I don't know how to stop the Docker service. It runs all the time using up the MacBook battery.

On a simple search, there are docs showing how to stop the containers but not the docker service itself.

I might be missing something obvious, but is there a way to stop both Kubernetes and Docker service without having to kill the desktop app?

Answer 1

You can just quit the docker desktop last option in your image . It will exit the docker and kubernetes also.

Answer 2

You can open the Activy Monitor, select Docker and then use the Quit button.

Maybe you will need to use the Force Quit option.

Answer 3

I had been searching around for an answer to this too, as I noticed com.docker.hyperkit was taking >3GB memory and a lot of CPU, when the desktop app wasn't even opened on Mac OS X Catalina, Docker Desktop 3.0.4

Just as I was about kill -9 , I noticed that quitting the docker app again actually did kill off every process except com.docker.vmnetd for whatever reason.

So I guess the solution here was... reopen and re-quit? I also made sure, of course, there were no running containers. I removed an old image too, unsure if that was related to it finally being able to fully quit.

Answer 4

The docker desktop app starts a qemu vm, so the desktop app has no control over the PIDs. To oversome the "situation" do the following:

• open the Terminal app

• edit the file ~/.bash_profile

• add the following lines

#macro to kill the docker desktop app and the VM (excluding vmnetd -> it's a service)
    function kdo() {
      ps ax|grep -i docker|egrep -iv 'grep|com.docker.vmnetd'|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill
    }

• save the file

Quit the terminal app and open it again.

Type kdo to kill all the dependend apps (hypervisor, docker daemon etc.)
