Silence docker rm command in bash

Question

I tried docker container rm container-name > /dev/null but this still prints Error: No such container: container-name. I'm trying to silence this error in my bash script.

Send stderr to /dev/null:

docker container rm container-name 2> /dev/null

thanks, that works, but how do I silence both the error and success at the same time? – Dave Apr 28 '19 at 14:14

Rather, replace `2>` with `&>`. – John Kugelman Apr 28 '19 at 15:52
