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
