     4  # NAME
     5  docker-images - List images
     6  
     7  # SYNOPSIS
     8  **docker images**
     9  [**--help**]
    10  [**-a**|**--all**]
    11  [**--digests**]
    12  [**-f**|**--filter**[=*[]*]]
    13  [**--format**=*"TEMPLATE"*]
    14  [**--no-trunc**]
    15  [**-q**|**--quiet**]
    16  [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
    17  
    18  # DESCRIPTION
    19  This command lists the images stored in the local Docker repository.
    20  
    21  By default, intermediate images, used during builds, are not listed. 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     - reference=(pattern of an image reference)
    48  
    49  **--format**="*TEMPLATE*"
    50     Pretty-print images using a Go template.
    51     Valid placeholders:
    52        .ID - Image ID
    53        .Repository - Image repository
    54        .Tag - Image tag
    55        .Digest - Image digest
    56        .CreatedSince - Elapsed time since the image was created
    57        .CreatedAt - Time when the image was created
    58        .Size - Image disk size
    59  
    60  **--help**
    61    Print usage statement
    62  
    63  **--no-trunc**=*true*|*false*
    64     Don't truncate output. The default is *false*.
    65  
    66  **-q**, **--quiet**=*true*|*false*
    67     Only show numeric IDs. The default is *false*.
    68  
    69  # EXAMPLES
    70  
    71  ## Listing the images
    72  
    73  To list the images in a local repository (not the registry) run:
    74  
    75      docker images
    76  
    77  The list will contain the image repository name, a tag for the image, and an
    78  image ID, when it was created and its virtual size. Columns: REPOSITORY, TAG,
    79  IMAGE ID, CREATED, and SIZE.
    80  
    81  The `docker images` command takes an optional `[REPOSITORY[:TAG]]` argument
    82  that restricts the list to images that match the argument. If you specify
    83  `REPOSITORY`but no `TAG`, the `docker images` command lists all images in the
    84  given repository.
    85  
    86      docker images java
    87  
    88  The `[REPOSITORY[:TAG]]` value must be an "exact match". This means that, for example,
    89  `docker images jav` does not match the image `java`.
    90  
    91  If both `REPOSITORY` and `TAG` are provided, only images matching that
    92  repository and tag are listed.  To find all local images in the "java"
    93  repository with tag "8" you can use:
    94  
    95      docker images java:8
    96  
    97  To get a verbose list of images which contains all the intermediate images
    98  used in builds use **-a**:
    99  
   100      docker images -a
   101  
   102  Previously, the docker images command supported the --tree and --dot arguments,
   103  which displayed different visualizations of the image data. Docker core removed
   104  this functionality in the 1.7 version. If you liked this functionality, you can
   105  still find it in the third-party dockviz tool: https://github.com/justone/dockviz.
   106  
   107  ## Listing images in a desired format
   108  
   109  When using the --format option, the image command will either output the data 
   110  exactly as the template declares or, when using the `table` directive, will 
   111  include column headers as well. You can use special characters like `\t` for
   112  inserting tab spacing between columns. 
   113  
   114  The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and 
   115  Repository entries separated by a colon for all images:
   116  
   117      docker images --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Repository}}"
   118      77af4d6b9913: <none>
   119      b6fa739cedf5: committ
   120      78a85c484bad: ipbabble
   121      30557a29d5ab: docker
   122      5ed6274db6ce: <none>
   123      746b819f315e: postgres
   124      746b819f315e: postgres
   125      746b819f315e: postgres
   126      746b819f315e: postgres
   127  
   128  To list all images with their repository and tag in a table format you can use:
   129  
   130      docker images --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Repository}}\t{{.Tag}}"
   131      IMAGE ID            REPOSITORY                TAG
   132      77af4d6b9913        <none>                    <none>
   133      b6fa739cedf5        committ                   latest
   134      78a85c484bad        ipbabble                  <none>
   135      30557a29d5ab        docker                    latest
   136      5ed6274db6ce        <none>                    <none>
   137      746b819f315e        postgres                  9
   138      746b819f315e        postgres                  9.3
   139      746b819f315e        postgres                  9.3.5
   140      746b819f315e        postgres                  latest
   141  
   142  Valid template placeholders are listed above.
   143  
   144  ## Listing only the shortened image IDs
   145  
   146  Listing just the shortened image IDs. This can be useful for some automated
   147  tools.
