Description
The docker system df command displays information regarding the
amount of disk space used by the Docker daemon.
Examples
By default the command displays a summary of the data used:
$ docker system df
TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 5 2 16.43 MB 11.63 MB (70%)
Containers 2 0 212 B 212 B (100%)
Local Volumes 2 1 36 B 0 B (0%)
Use the -v, --verbose flag to get more detailed information:
$ docker system df -v

SHARED SIZEis the amount of space that an image shares with another one (i.e. their common data)UNIQUE SIZEis the amount of space that's only used by a given imageSIZEis the virtual size of the image, it's the sum ofSHARED SIZEandUNIQUE SIZE
Note
Network information isn't shown, because it doesn't consume disk space.
Performance
Running the system df command can be resource-intensive. It traverses the
filesystem of every image, container, and volume in the system. You should be
careful running this command in systems with lots of images, containers, or
volumes or in systems where some images, containers, or volumes have large
filesystems with many files. You should also be careful not to run this command
in systems where performance is critical.
Format the output (--format)
The formatting option (--format) pretty prints the disk usage output
using a Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
.Type |
Images, Containers and Local Volumes |
.TotalCount |
Total number of items |
.Active |
Number of active items |
.Size |
Available size |
.Reclaimable |
Reclaimable size |
When using the --format option, the system df command outputs
the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the
table directive, includes column headers as well.
The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the
Type and TotalCount entries separated by a colon (:):
$ docker system df --format "{{.Type}}: {{.TotalCount}}"
Images: 2
Containers: 4
Local Volumes: 1
To list the disk usage with size and reclaimable size in a table format you can use:
$ docker system df --format "table {{.Type}}\t{{.Size}}\t{{.Reclaimable}}"
TYPE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 2.547 GB 2.342 GB (91%)
Containers 0 B 0 B
Local Volumes 150.3 MB 150.3 MB (100%)
<Paste>
To list all information in JSON format, use the json directive:
$ docker system df --format json
{"Active":"2","Reclaimable":"2.498GB (94%)","Size":"2.631GB","TotalCount":"6","Type":"Images"}
{"Active":"1","Reclaimable":"1.114kB (49%)","Size":"2.23kB","TotalCount":"7","Type":"Containers"}
{"Active":"0","Reclaimable":"256.5MB (100%)","Size":"256.5MB","TotalCount":"1","Type":"Local Volumes"}
{"Active":"0","Reclaimable":"158B","Size":"158B","TotalCount":"17","Type":"Build Cache"}
The format option has no effect when the --verbose option is used.
