[SOLVED] Docker Hub Applications

I think we have a potential flaw not tracking some snapshots created every time users had a docker image

Agreed we have some things to look at here but also as I understand it docker uses btrfs snapshots internally for it’s ‘layers’ so we may have a hard time meaningfully tracking all of these from the ‘outside’. But as of docker version 1.13 there is a facility to ‘prune’ unused elements:

docker system prune

The above also has container, volume, and image variants in place of the system option.
See:

New Data Management commands

And another niceness is:

docker system df

with a -v variant.

I.e. use dockers own facilities to clean up after itself.

Looks like something we should ‘bake in’, or maybe have a ‘power wash’ button that runs ‘docker system prune’ with associated warnings and a tie in with uninstalling all Rock-ons or something.

Haven’t looked into it but saw it go by in docker news.
