SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a summary of disk usage across Docker object types, helping users identify which categories are using the most space and potentially requiring cleanup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Disk Usage Summary: Summarizes the disk usage of Docker images, containers, local volumes, and build cache.
  • Human-readable Format: Provides a clear and easy-to-understand format for the disk usage data.
  • Use Case: Before pruning Docker objects, use this Skill to see how much disk space is being used by each category, which can help prioritize which objects to prune.

Quick Start

Run the ssh_docker_system_df Skill with the 'host' parameter to get a summary of disk usage for a specific Docker host.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Docker disk usage across all object types on a remote host?

To check Docker disk usage across all object types, run this Skill with the host parameter to summarize space consumed by images, containers, local volumes, and build cache over SSH. It provides a human-readable format to help identify categories needing cleanup.

What is the best way to see which Docker objects are taking up the most disk space?

The best way to see which Docker objects take up the most disk space is to generate a system df summary. This Skill categorizes disk usage by images, containers, volumes, and build cache to help prioritize which objects to prune.

Do I need SSH access to get a Docker disk usage summary for my containers?

Yes, you need SSH access to the host to retrieve a Docker disk usage summary. The Skill requires a remote connection to the Docker daemon to summarize disk space across all object types.

Can I use this to find out how much disk space Docker build cache is using before pruning?

Yes, you can use this to find out how much disk space Docker build cache is using before pruning. It summarizes disk usage across all object types, allowing you to identify which categories require cleanup and optimization.

Why does Docker disk usage not show a breakdown of images, volumes, and build cache?

Docker disk usage might not show a breakdown of images, volumes, and build cache if you only run basic container commands. This Skill applies the system df command over SSH to provide a categorized summary across all object types.
