Back to Tooling
DockerClean
After working with Docker across different projects, one thing that kept happening was the amount of leftover stuff it would leave behind. Old images, stopped containers, unused volumes, none of it seemed like a big problem at first, but eventually it started eating up space. Cleaning it up usually meant running a few different Docker commands and checking what could safely be removed. DockerClean came from wanting a simpler way to handle that. The tool was built in Go and works directly with the Docker API to inspect and clean up unused resources. It started as a small utility, but also became a good project for getting more comfortable with Go and working with Docker beyond the usual command line.
