In this article, we will see the solution for below error.
docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/mysql101" is already in use by container "3258898f66a7a5fe45e5f00f870a97bcf82e700d60a3621a5a085710e8fa6e28". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name. See 'docker run --help'.
It looks like a container with the name already exists in the system. We can check the output of the below command to confirm if it indeed exists:
docker ps -a
The last column in the above command’s output is for names.
If the container exists, we have to remove it by using below command:
docker rm mysql101
Or forcefully using,
docker rm -f mysql101
Now verify container is removed or not by running below command:
docker ps -a
And then try creating a new container.
