NAME

       docker-image-ls - List images

SYNOPSIS

       docker image ls [OPTIONS] [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]

DESCRIPTION

       This command lists the images stored in the local Docker repository.

       By  default, intermediate images, used during builds, are not listed. Some of the output, e.g., image ID,
       is truncated, for space reasons. However the truncated image ID, and often the first few characters,  are
       enough  to  be  used in other Docker commands that use the image ID. The output includes repository, tag,
       image ID, date created and the virtual size.

       The title REPOSITORY for the first title may seem confusing. It is essentially the image  name.  However,
       because you can tag a specific image, and multiple tags (image instances) can be associated with a single
       name, the name is really a repository for all tagged images of the same name.  For  example  consider  an
       image called fedora. It may be tagged with 18, 19, or 20, etc. to manage different versions.

Filters

       Filters the output based on these conditions:

              • dangling=(true|false) - find unused images

              • label= or label==

              • before=([:tag]||image@digest ⟨mailto:image@digest⟩)

              • since=([:tag]||image@digest ⟨mailto:image@digest⟩)

              • reference=(pattern of an image reference)

Format

       Pretty-print images using a Go template.
          Valid placeholders:
             .ID - Image ID
             .Repository - Image repository
             .Tag - Image tag
             .Digest - Image digest
             .CreatedSince - Elapsed time since the image was created
             .CreatedAt - Time when the image was created
             .Size - Image disk size

EXAMPLES

Listing the images

       To list the images in a local repository (not the registry) run:

              docker image ls

       The  list  will  contain  the  image  repository  name, a tag for the image, and an image ID, when it was
       created and its virtual size. Columns: REPOSITORY, TAG, IMAGE ID, CREATED, and SIZE.

       The docker image ls command takes an optional [REPOSITORY[:TAG]] argument  that  restricts  the  list  to
       images  that  match the argument. If you specify REPOSITORY but no TAG, the docker image ls command lists
       all images in the given repository.

              docker image ls java

       The [REPOSITORY[:TAG]] value must be an "exact match". This means that, for example, docker image ls  jav
       does not match the image java.

       If  both  REPOSITORY  and  TAG are provided, only images matching that repository and tag are listed.  To
       find all local images in the "java" repository with tag "8" you can use:

              docker image ls java:8

       To get a verbose list of images which contains all the intermediate images used in builds use -a:

              docker image ls -a

       Previously, the docker image ls command  supported  the  --tree  and  --dot  arguments,  which  displayed
       different visualizations of the image data. Docker core removed this functionality in the 1.7 version. If
       you  liked  this  functionality,  you  can   still   find   it   in   the   third-party   dockviz   tool:
       https://github.com/justone/dockviz.

Listing images in a desired format

       When  using  the  --format  option, the image command will either output the data exactly as the template
       declares or, when using the table directive, will include column headers as well.  You  can  use  special
       characters like \t for inserting tab spacing between columns.

       The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and Repository entries separated
       by a colon for all images:

              docker images --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Repository}}"
              77af4d6b9913: <none>
              b6fa739cedf5: committ
              78a85c484bad: ipbabble
              30557a29d5ab: docker
              5ed6274db6ce: <none>
              746b819f315e: postgres
              746b819f315e: postgres
              746b819f315e: postgres
              746b819f315e: postgres

       To list all images with their repository and tag in a table format you can use:

              docker images --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Repository}}\t{{.Tag}}"
              IMAGE ID            REPOSITORY                TAG
              77af4d6b9913        <none>                    <none>
              b6fa739cedf5        committ                   latest
              78a85c484bad        ipbabble                  <none>
              30557a29d5ab        docker                    latest
              5ed6274db6ce        <none>                    <none>
              746b819f315e        postgres                  9
              746b819f315e        postgres                  9.3
              746b819f315e        postgres                  9.3.5
              746b819f315e        postgres                  latest

       Valid template placeholders are listed above.
