Docker: Clean in Bulk

Saksham 2 years ago

I will define the problem I was facing

Too many snapshots versions for the same image were there on my system

Freaky developer

So to delete there was one hard hack way of cleaning it all

docker system prune -f

That would have killed all the dangling images but still left many I wished cleaned.

Light bulb moment

So while pondering what to do which included manually going one by one, I thought of trying this

Step 1

List all the images I wished to delete and narrow down to the specific versions

docker image ls

// Gave a long listing
[root@samarthya ~]# docker image ls myartifactory.samarthya.me/opendataconnector/2.2/my-connector

So I know I could get the listing, now if I just pipe this listing to the docker rmi it should work & I tried the following command.

[root@muntest001601 ~]# docker rmi -f `docker image ls myartifactory.samarthya.me/opendataconnector/2.2/my-connector -q`
