NAME

       docker-images - List images

SYNOPSIS

       docker   images   [--help]   [-a|--all[=false]]   [--digests[=false]]   [-f|--filter[=[]]]
       [--no-trunc[=false]] [-q|--quiet[=false]] [REPOSITORY]

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.

OPTIONS

       -a, --all=true|false
          Show all images (by default filter out the intermediate image layers). The  default  is
       false.

       --digests=true|false
          Show image digests. The default is false.

       -f, --filter=[]
          Filters   the   output.   The   dangling=true   filter   finds   unused  images.  While
       label=com.foo=amd64 filters for images with a com.foo value of  amd64.  The  label=com.foo
       filter finds images with the label com.foo of any value.

       --help
         Print usage statement

       --no-trunc=true|false
          Don't truncate output. The default is false.

       -q, --quiet=true|false
          Only show numeric IDs. The default is false.

EXAMPLES

Listing the images

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

              docker images

       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
       VIRTUAL SIZE.

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

              docker images -a

Listing only the shortened image IDs

       Listing just the shortened image IDs. This can be useful for some automated tools.

              docker images -q
