Idea to save DockerHub Resources

If you name your local builds as localhost/yourimage then you can search for every image starting with localhost and delete them in one line:

docker image rm $(docker image ls -q 'localhost/*')

You could also use labels which I did in my demo project that I presented at Docker Community ALl-Hands:

github.com

rimelek/fix-docker-containers/blob/docker-community-all-hands-6/run.sh#L101


      
          
            command="$(awk \
                -v "indent_input=$indent_input" \
                -v "version=$version" \
                '{ gsub("^ {" indent_input "}" ,""); gsub("\{v\}", "v" version); print $0 }' \
                "$executable_file"
            )"
            run "$command"
          }
          
          function reset_examples() {
            run_i 2 "$1" <(cat <<EOF
            docker container ls --all --quiet --filter label=fixcontainers | xargs -I '{}' -- docker container rm -f {}
            docker image ls --quiet --filter label=fixcontainers | xargs -I '{}' -- docker image rm -f {}
            rm -r ./var 2>/dev/null || true
          EOF
          )
          }
          
          function usage() {
            echo "Usage $0 [options]"
