docker images (command)

List container images:

• docker images
• docker images REPO_NAME
• docker image ls
• docker image list
• docker images --digests
• docker images --filter

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/images/

Do not use docker images ls instead of docker image ls as you will not list any image as you will be listing images from a non existing repository: ls

Examples

$ docker images

Notes:

• IMAGE ID column is the first 12 characters of the identifier for an image. You can create many tags of a given image (docker tag), but their IDs will all be the same, as example above.

• REPOSITORY column comes from the -t flag of the docker build command, or from docker tag-ing an existing image. You can tag images using your prefered nomenclature, but docker will use the tag as the registry location when using docker push or docker pull

Images are stored in docker info | grep "Docker Root Dir"

DOCKER_ROOT_DIR/image/overlay2/imagedb/content

UNTAGGED IMAGES (DANGLING)

docker images --filter "dangling=true"
