## What it is
A Shell script CLI that cleans up Docker resources including stopped containers, dangling/untagged images, volumes, and networks. It supports granular flags, dry-run mode, and can run from a Docker container itself.

## Use cases
- clean up dangling docker images and free disk space
- remove all stopped docker containers
- delete unused docker volumes and networks
- reset a local docker environment before testing
- clean docker on a swarm node via host flag

## When to choose
- you want a simple, lightweight script to reclaim disk space used by Docker
- you need fine-grained cleanup control with dry-run support
- you want to run cleanup inside a container without installing anything on the host

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was in 2018
- you prefer built-in commands like `docker system prune`
- you need cleanup orchestration across many hosts or clusters
