Some of the 22 output, e.g., image ID, is truncated, for space reasons. However the truncated 23 image ID, and often the first few characters, are enough to be used in other 24 Docker commands that use the image ID. The output includes repository, tag, image 25 ID, date created and the virtual size. 26 27 The title REPOSITORY for the first title may seem confusing. It is essentially 28 the image name. However, because you can tag a specific image, and multiple tags 29 (image instances) can be associated with a single name, the name is really a 30 repository for all tagged images of the same name. For example consider an image 31 called fedora. It may be tagged with 18, 19, or 20, etc. to manage different 32 versions. 33 34 # OPTIONS 35 **-a**, **--all**=*true*|*false* 36 Show all images (by default filter out the intermediate image layers). The default is *false*. 37 38 **--digests**=*true*|*false* 39 Show image digests. The default is *false*. 40 41 **-f**, **--filter**=[] 42 Filters the output based on these conditions: 43 - dangling=(true|false) - find unused images 44 - label=<key> or label=<key>=<value> 45 - before=(<image-name>[:tag]|<image-id>|<image@digest>) 46 - since=(<image-name>[:tag]|<image-id>|<image@digest>) 47 48 **--format**="*TEMPLATE*" 49 Pretty-print images using a Go template. 50 Valid placeholders: 51 .ID - Image ID 52 .Repository - Image repository 53 .Tag - Image tag 54 .Digest - Image digest 55 .CreatedSince - Elapsed time since the image was created 56 .CreatedAt - Time when the image was created 57 .Size - Image disk size 58 59 **--help** 60 Print usage statement 61 62 **--no-trunc**=*true*|*false* 63 Don't truncate output. The default is *false*. 64 65 **-q**, **--quiet**=*true*|*false* 66 Only show numeric IDs. The default is *false*. 67 68 # EXAMPLES 69 70 ## Listing the images 71 72 To list the images in a local repository (not the registry) run: 73 74 docker images 75 76 The list will contain the image repository name, a tag for the image, and an 77 image ID, when it was created and its virtual size. Columns: REPOSITORY, TAG, 78 IMAGE ID, CREATED, and SIZE. 79 80 The `docker images` command takes an optional `[REPOSITORY[:TAG]]` argument 81 that restricts the list to images that match the argument. If you specify 82 `REPOSITORY`but no `TAG`, the `docker images` command lists all images in the 83 given repository. 84 85 docker images java 86 87 The `[REPOSITORY[:TAG]]` value must be an "exact match". This means that, for example, 88 `docker images jav` does not match the image `java`. 89 90 If both `REPOSITORY` and `TAG` are provided, only images matching that 91 repository and tag are listed. To find all local images in the "java" 92 repository with tag "8" you can use: 93 94 docker images java:8 95 96 To get a verbose list of images which contains all the intermediate images 97 used in builds use **-a**: 98 99 docker images -a 100 101 Previously, the docker images command supported the --tree and --dot arguments, 102 which displayed different visualizations of the image data. Docker core removed 103 this functionality in the 1.7 version. If you liked this functionality, you can 104 still find it in the third-party dockviz tool: https://github.com/justone/dockviz. 105 106 ## Listing only the shortened image IDs 107 108 Listing just the shortened image IDs. This can be useful for some automated 109 tools. 110 111 docker images -q 112 113 # HISTORY 114 April 2014, Originally compiled by William Henry (whenry at redhat dot com) 115 based on docker.com source material and internal work. 116 June 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au>
