Docker maintenance
If you are having problems with OTBR Docker, you might have multiple containers running. Before running OTBR Docker, we recommend cleaning up any extraneous Docker containers, both running and stopped.
Note that there is a difference between Docker images and containers. Images are the source, while containers are instances of the source image. You can have multiple container instances running from the same source Docker image.
To view all stopped and running Docker containers on your machine:
docker ps -a
