Clean
Remove all unused containers, networks, images (both dangling and unreferenced), and volumes:
docker system prune -a --volumes
Analyse space usage of docker system:
# docker system df
TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 9 9 1.5GB 109.8MB (7%)
Containers 9 9 40.36MB 0B (0%)
Local Volumes 4 4 1.803MB 0B (0%)
Build Cache 0 0 0B 0B
Per image size:
docker ps --size
Limit docker log file sizes (existing containers won’t be affected! Only new containers):
vim /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
"log-driver": "json-file",
"log-opts": {"max-size": "50m", "max-file": "3"}
}
Hack to delete log files:
truncate -s 0 $(docker inspect --format='{{.LogPath}}' <container_name_or_id>)
