What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A shell script that performs garbage collection of exited Docker containers and unused Docker images, intended to run as a cron job or inside a Docker container. It is no longer maintained; the README recommends using `docker system prune` instead.
Use cases
- clean up exited docker containers older than an hour
- remove unused docker images to free disk space
- run docker cleanup as a cron job
- delete dangling docker volumes
- exclude specific images from docker cleanup
When to choose
- you are on a legacy system where built-in docker prune commands are unavailable
- you need the specific hour-based container removal and tag-preserving image cleanup behavior
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use `docker system prune` instead
- you need active maintenance, support, or new features
- you need fine-grained filtering beyond simple exclusions
