Docker provides methods to remove orphan containers or the ones that are already stuck. however, you might want to kill active and healthy containers only because they've been running for more than a specific amount of time.
kill-old-containers does the job for you!
Simply invoke the script in the terminal. you can even set up a cron job to automate the process:
$ ./kill-old-containers.sh -t | --time [number of seconds]
You can also search for certain containers. this kills containers older than 2 minutes with their titles containing "nginx":
$ ./kill-old-containers.sh --time 120 --search nginx
