## The short answer

In Docker, to stop all the running containers at once, you can combined the docker stop and docker ps commands as follows:

Bash

```
$ docker stop $(docker ps -q)
```

Where:

- The $() syntax is used to execute a shell command in a subshell.
- docker ps -q is used to output the IDs of all running Docker containers.

## Stopping unresponsive containers

To stop unresponsive containers, you can use the docker kill command, which will send a SIGKILL signal to all the processes inside of the container and instantly terminate the container itself:

Bash

```
$ docker kill <container …>
```

Where:

- container ... is a list of container IDs or names.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to forcefully stop all containers:

Bash

```
$ docker kill $(docker ps -q)
```

For example:

Bash

```
$ docker kill 641710a3ab3a test-psql-db
```

## Easily retrieve these commands using Warp's AI Command Suggestions feature

If you’re using Warp as your terminal, you can easily retrieve this command using the Warp [AI Command Suggestions feature](https://docs.warp.dev/features/warp-ai/ai-command-suggestions):

Entering docker stop all containers in the AI Command Suggestions will prompt a docker command that can then quickly be inserted into your shell by doing CMD+ENTER.
