Stop all Docker containers

I will often run this command to make sure all my docker containers are stopped and removed before running docker-compose up. Sometimes when you restart your system, old containers will start back up automatically in the background.

docker stop $(docker ps -aq) && docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
