# NAME
docker-info - Display system-wide information

# SYNOPSIS
**docker info**
[**--help**]
[**-f**|**--format**[=*FORMAT*]]

# DESCRIPTION
This command displays system wide information regarding the Docker installation.
Information displayed includes the kernel version, number of containers and images.
The number of images shown is the number of unique images. The same image tagged
under different names is counted only once.

If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead of the
default format. Go's **text/template** package
describes all the details of the format.

Depending on the storage driver in use, additional information can be shown, such
as pool name, data file, metadata file, data space used, total data space, metadata
space used, and total metadata space.

The data file is where the images are stored and the metadata file is where the
meta data regarding those images are stored. When run for the first time Docker
allocates a certain amount of data space and meta data space from the space
available on the volume where `/var/lib/docker` is mounted.

# OPTIONS
**--help**
  Print usage statement

**-f**, **--format**=""
  Format the output using the given Go template

The global `-D` option tells all `docker` commands to output debug information.

The example below shows the output for a daemon running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
using the devicemapper storage driver. As can be seen in the output, additional
information about the devicemapper storage driver is shown:
