Prune dangling images

shell

Beware

The docker image prune command can be buggy sometimes. It might hang and give you no output for a long time. The GitHub issue of this problem opened at 2018, however it is not resolved yet.

shell

docker image prune -a --filter "until=24h"

Volumes

Prune dangling volumes

shell

docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
