Why is docker-compose ps different from docker ps?

Why does docker compose create containers that are only accecible from docker-compose ps and that persist after killing running container ?

docker-compose is the software wrapper around docker and there is not full support still. You can try to read a little bit about kubernets and mesos for the comparing different clusters built on top of docker or similar container systems. article on blog about swarm and compose

It doesn't.

docker ps only shows running containers, docker-compose ps shows all containers related to the current compose file, running and stopped. docker-compose kill just force stops the container and it can be restarted with docker-compose start, it will therefore be visible when running docker-compose ps but not docker ps.

To list all containers with docker use docker ps -a. To removed stopped containers related to a compose file run docker-compose rm, if you want to stop and remove all containers, have a look at docker-compose down.
