Removing containers
See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-remove-docker-images-containers-and-volumes
Executing commands on services within the container
docker-compose exec <service> <command>
For example:
docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate
docker-compose exec: tells docker to execute something in the container
app: name of the service as defined in docker-compose.yml
php artisan key:generate: command to execute in the container, just as you would normally run on your local machine
Another example:
docker-compose exec database mysql --version
