Why some containers keep recreating?

[ellnamin]

I don't know exactly what happened, but I think I had an application up and running on a certain provider, and I may have changed the provider without stopping the current container first. It resulted in the running container keeping alive forever, and even if you kill it manually, it keeps getting recreated!

If you are using applications or docker stack, containers will be recreated automatically, this is the default behaviour of docker swarm, to remove it you can do it manually as docker service rm .
