I have inherited the config on this server. On boot, docker starts fine. I assume from /lib/systemd/system/system/docker.service
I can use systemctl stop docker.service and then docker ps -a and I see its all stoped.
On a reboot all containers are up and running.
I need to know where the file is that tells docker to start all of the containers.
There must be a docker-compose.yml somewhere but I have been unable to find it yet.
Is there a way to find how the containers are getting started? Where the running docker got its config?
Thanks all.

I even executed systemctl disable docker.service, rebooted and docker ps -a is still showing running containers…
I cant kill them. Like zombies.
I actually want to add a docker mssql image but want to know what docker config file to add them to.
I must not be getting something…
Got a little farther, but I am more confused now.
systemctl disable docker.service and systemctl disable docker.socket does stop docker on boot.
So where is docker getting its config to find containers on boot?
