Unable to clean same unused images from multiple repositories about docker-cleanup

[mikljohansson]

Would you be willing to create and test a PR that adds the "-f" flag for the docker rmi commands used by the run.sh script?

docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) did the job in my laptop.

I see this too. Docker seems to handle the dependent images strangely. I was able to change the command to a docker rmi -f but you will have to run the command multiple times in order to remove all the unused images.

@oomathias You may try to remove the images explicitly from their repository names and tags like

docker images | grep -E 'autodeploy' | awk '{ print $1":"$2 }' | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rmi

The following modified run.sh script takes care of deleting images with duplicate ids
run.sh.txt

I have made a patch in #37 that removes the image by it tags if it has one or more. That should fix it without using -f.

The way to remove images in docker is currently:

loop
    code = 0
    for each docker image ls | trim | split NL | shuffle as line
        cells = line | split \s+
        code |= docker image rm cells[[0, 2] | shuffle | pop]
    if not code
        break

If your images are dependent on anything other than images or image tags then this will loop infinitely. To stop that you instead must apply every possible permutation and compare the output of each loop. This also wont take into account tags but it does take into account tags.

Be careful! this will remove all images:

docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) did the job in my laptop.
