OS. Proper swabbing the deck
This tool will delete all containers that are:
- not running
- exit time is older than
-ca
hours ago - not used as volume containers by containers created after
-ca
hours ago
And will attempt(!) to delete all images that are:
- creation time is older than
-ia
hours ago - not used by any container created after
-ca
hours ago
If unsure, use -dry
before running it.
THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION. IF YOU RUN THIS TOOL, IT WILL DELETE STUFF. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Usage of ./docker-proper:
-a="unix:///var/run/docker.sock": address of docker daemon
-ca=672h0m0s: Max container age
-dry=false: Dry run; do not actually delete
-ia=672h0m0s: Max images age
-r=0: Run continously in given interval
-v=false: Be verbose
I dockerize all the things, also this thing.
You can use it to remove stuff from local machine by bind-mounting the socket:
$ docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/docker.sock dckr/docker-proper -a unix:///docker.sock
Or just specify a remote host by using -a
.
You can also just use the image to pull out the docker-proper binary like this:
$ docker run --rm dckr/docker-proper --entrypoint cat /docker-proper/docker-proper > docker-proper
If you specify -r 24h
the docker-proper and the container will sleep
24 hours and then repeat the cleanup. This is useful if you don't want
to create a cronjob for this.
