Shortcut for deleting docker image and all containers using it?

Question

During development i often come to the point where I need to delete a docker image, but also to first stop and remove all containers using it. So essentially I am doing:

• stop containers for the image
• remove containers
• remove image

Any shortcut for this?

You can use simple bash script for this

#!/bin/bash
docker stop $(docker ps --filter ancestor=$1 --format="{{.ID}}")
docker rm $(docker ps -a --filter ancestor=$1 --format="{{.ID}}")
docker rmi $1

Just call it:

./remove-img.sh <image-name>
