要删除没有容器运行的标记图像，你必须使用一个小脚本:

#!/bin/bash

# remove not running containers
docker rm $(docker ps -f "status=exited" -q)

declare -A used_images

# collect images which has running container
for image in $(docker ps | awk 'NR>1 {print $2;}'); do
    id=$(docker inspect --format="{{.Id}}" $image);
    used_images[$id]=$image;
done

# loop over images, delete those without a container
for id in $(docker images --no-trunc -q); do
    if [ -z ${used_images[$id]} ]; then
        echo "images is NOT in use: $id"
        docker rmi $id
    else
        echo "images is in use:     ${used_images[$id]}"
    fi
done

下面是一个清理Docker映像并回收空间的脚本。

#!/bin/bash -x
## Removing stopped container
docker ps -a | grep Exited | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker rm

## If you do not want to remove all container you can have filter for days and weeks old like below
#docker ps -a | grep Exited | grep "days ago" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker rm
#docker ps -a | grep Exited | grep "weeks ago" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker rm

## Removing Dangling images
## There are the layers images which are being created during building a Docker image. This is a great way to recover the spaces used by old and unused layers.

docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

## Removing images of perticular pattern For example
## Here I am removing images which has a SNAPSHOT with it.

docker rmi $(docker images | grep SNAPSHOT | awk '{print $3}')

## Removing weeks old images

docker images | grep "weeks ago" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi

## Similarly you can remove days, months old images too.

原始的脚本

https://github.com/vishalvsh1/docker-image-cleanup

通常Docker将所有与图像构建和图层相关的临时文件保存在

/var/lib/docker

该路径是系统的本地路径，通常位于根分区“/”。

您可以挂载一个更大的磁盘空间，并将/var/lib/docker的内容移动到新的挂载位置，并进行符号链接。

这样，即使Docker映像占用空间，也不会影响您的系统，因为它将使用其他一些挂载位置。

下面的命令将帮助从本地存储库中删除所有未使用的和旧的映像 ==> docker系统剪枝——全部

假设你有Docker 1.13或更高版本，你可以只使用修剪命令。对于你的问题，特别是关于删除旧图像，你想要第一个。

# Remove unused images
docker image prune

# Remove stopped containers.
docker container prune

# Remove unused volumes
docker volume prune

# Remove unused networks
docker network prune

# Command to run all prunes:
docker system prune

我建议不要习惯使用docker系统的prune命令。我认为用户会不小心删除他们不想删除的内容。就我个人而言，我将主要使用docker映像修剪和docker容器修剪命令。

如何删除带标签的图像

Docker先取标签 Docker对图像进行了描述。 #可以在一个docker rmi调用中完成，例如:# Docker rmi <repo:tag> <imageid>

(2016年11月，Docker版本1.12.2)

e.g.

$ docker images 
REPOSITORY              TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
usrxx/the-application   16112805            011fd5bf45a2        12 hours ago        5.753 GB
usryy/the-application   vx.xx.xx            5af809583b9c        3 days ago          5.743 GB
usrzz/the-application   vx.xx.xx            eef00ce9b81f        10 days ago         5.747 GB
usrAA/the-application   vx.xx.xx            422ba91c71bb        3 weeks ago         5.722 GB
usrBB/the-application   v1.00.18            a877aec95006        3 months ago        5.589 GB

$ docker rmi usrxx/the-application:16112805 && docker rmi 011fd5bf45a2
$ docker rmi usryy/the-application:vx.xx.xx && docker rmi 5af809583b9c
$ docker rmi usrzz/the-application:vx.xx.xx eef00ce9b81f
$ docker rmi usrAA/the-application:vx.xx.xx 422ba91c71bb
$ docker rmi usrBB/the-application:v1.00.18 a877aec95006

例:脚本删除超过2周的内容。

IMAGESINFO=$(docker images --no-trunc --format '{{.ID}} {{.Repository}} {{.Tag}} {{.CreatedSince}}' |grep -E " (weeks|months|years)")
TAGS=$(echo "$IMAGESINFO" | awk '{ print $2 ":" $3 }' )
IDS=$(echo "$IMAGESINFO" | awk '{ print $1 }' )
echo remove old images TAGS=$TAGS IDS=$IDS
for t in $TAGS; do docker rmi $t; done
for i in $IDS; do docker rmi $i; done

我最近写了一个脚本在我的服务器上解决这个问题:

#!/bin/bash

# Remove all the dangling images
DANGLING_IMAGES=$(docker images -qf "dangling=true")
if [[ -n $DANGLING_IMAGES ]]; then
    docker rmi "$DANGLING_IMAGES"
fi

# Get all the images currently in use
USED_IMAGES=($( \
    docker ps -a --format '{{.Image}}' | \
    sort -u | \
    uniq | \
    awk -F ':' '$2{print $1":"$2}!$2{print $1":latest"}' \
))

# Get all the images currently available
ALL_IMAGES=($( \
    docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' | \
    sort -u \
))

# Remove the unused images
for i in "${ALL_IMAGES[@]}"; do
    UNUSED=true
    for j in "${USED_IMAGES[@]}"; do
        if [[ "$i" == "$j" ]]; then
            UNUSED=false
        fi
    done
    if [[ "$UNUSED" == true ]]; then
        docker rmi "$i"
    fi
done
