Documented steps List containers with `podman ps` (running only) or `podman ps -a` (all, including exited). Stop one or more containers: `podman stop [options] CONTAINER...` — sends SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after the timeout (default 10s). Adjust the grace period: `podman stop --time 2 myweb` (wait 2s before SIGKILL); `-1` waits forever. Stop everything running: `podman stop -a`. Filter what to stop: `podman stop --filter label=app=frontend` or `--filter name=db-replica`; repeated --filter on the same key is inclusive, different keys are exclusive. Remove containers: `podman rm [options] CONTAINER...` — a running/paused container requires `--force` (-f). Remove everything regardless of state: `podman rm -f -a`; remove dependents recursively with `--depend`. Remove only anonymous volumes (never named ones) with `podman rm --volumes`; ignore already-missing containers with `--ignore`. Official docs: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-stop.1.html and https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-rm.1.html Known gotchas podman stop --all does NOT include paused containers. podman rm --time requires --force; without -f, running/unusable containers are NOT removed. podman rm --volumes removes only anonymous volumes — named volumes (from podman volume create or --volume) are preserved. --latest (-l) is NOT available on remote podman clients (Mac/Windows excluding WSL2) and may select containers from other users. podman rm exit codes: 0 all removed, 1 one container missing, 2 one is running/paused, 125 other failure. podman rm removes containers but NOT images; use podman rmi for those.
