clear-docker-images

clear-docker-images is a small rust binary made to cleanup old docker images by date, repository and tags.

Usage

By default, clear-docker-images will select images that are older than 2 days old. You can choose to customize its behavior by filtering a different date by passing 1 or 2 dates, a repository and tags.

Docker container

docker run --name clear-docker-image -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/datahearth/clear-docker-images <OPTIONS>

N.B: Since v0.5.0, container images switched from the Docker alpine docker-in-docker image to Debian 11 distroless. I recommand switching to v0.5.0 for a significant size gain (around x20 in term of image size => 230MB).
