What are some alternatives to docker image prune?

What are some alternatives to the 'docker image prune' command?

There are several alternatives to 'docker image prune' that you can use to manage your Docker images. You can manually remove images using 'docker rmi <image_id>' or use 'docker system prune' to clean up unused data including images, containers, and networks.

Can I filter which images to remove instead of removing all unused images?

Yes, you can filter images by using the 'docker rmi' command with specific image IDs or tags. Additionally, you can use the '--filter' option with 'docker image prune' to specify conditions for the images you want to remove.

What about using scripts to automate image cleanup?

Using scripts is a great way to automate image cleanup. You can write a shell script that runs 'docker image prune' with specific filters or conditions at scheduled intervals.

Are there any risks associated with using these commands?

Yes, there are risks. Removing images that are still in use by containers can lead to issues. Always ensure that the images you are removing are not needed by any running or stopped containers.
