some docker tips to delete containers and images

deleting all the stopped containers

docker rm `docker ps -a -q`

deleting all the stopped containers except for recent 5 containers

docker ps -a -q | sed 1,5d | awk '{print $1}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rm

deleting all the containers used more than 1 week ago

docker ps -a | grep -v 'hours ago' | grep -v 'days ago' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rm

deleting docker images which REPOSITORY and TAG is none

docker images | grep none | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi
