I’m using tessypowder/backblaze-personal-wine, and I need to reinstall it due to some drive changes. I have tried docker rm [container ID], but when I add the container again, it seems to be stuck with the old wine settings. I have also tried adding it with a new name so it would theoretically be a totally new container, but that also seemed to inherit the broken wine settings.
I noticed that when I first install a container, there is a long ID string that seems to represent the container along with all the dependencies, but when I use docker ps, it only shows me a shorter string that seems to represent Backblaze alone. Should I be using rm with the longer string to remove wine too? If so, how can I get the terminal to display the full ID again so I can accomplish a full removal?
tl;dr How can I do a full removal of a docker container an all sub-programs (such as wine) that were installed along with it?
You should perhaps skim through https://docs.docker.com/storage/ quickly. That document explains that docker containers only have very limited persistence (this is kind of the whole point of containers). The only persistence of note is volumes. This is normally how settings are saved between recreating containers.
As for dependencies, well it’s possible that one container depends on the service of another. Perhaps this is what you are describing?
Either way, for more detailed help, you will have to explain your setup with more specific technical details.
