Rename a container

$ docker rename [old_name] [new_name]

docker rename container newname_

docker rename renames an existing container. Works on both running and stopped containers. Useful for giving meaningful names to containers created without --name. Container names must be unique within the Docker host and follow naming conventions (alphanumeric characters, underscores, periods, and hyphens).
