I’m new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn’t load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.
I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.
I freed 50gb by running ‘docker system prune’…

Yeah, it’s really not called out in the docs. I found out the same way.
last year I had over 1TB freed by docker system prune on a dev VM. If you’re building images often, that’s a mandatory command to run once in a while.
I create a cron job with something like:
docker system prune -af --filter="until=XXh"where XX is on the order of a few days.ah, this filter by timestamp might be very useful to me, thanks
I once freed 28 GB using
find ~/Downloads/ -mtime +30 -deleteOh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.
paccache -rgot me about the sameOh, that reminds me,…
