Remove all unused networks

1.25
to use this command. Use the docker version
command on the client to check
your client and daemon API versions.

Filtering
The filtering flag (--filter
) format is of “key=value”. If there is more
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"
)
The currently supported filters are:
- until (
<timestamp>
) - only remove networks created before given timestamp - label (
label=<key>
,label=<key>=<value>
,label!=<key>
, orlabel!=<key>=<value>
) - only remove networks with (or without, in caselabel!=...
is used) the specified labels.
The until
filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted
timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m
, 1h30m
) computed
relative to the daemon machine’s time. Supported formats for date
formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05
,
2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999
, 2006-01-02Z07:00
, and 2006-01-02
. The local
timezone on the daemon will be used if you do not provide either a Z
or a
+-00:00
timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix
timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
fraction of a second no more than nine digits long.
The label
filter accepts two formats. One is the label=...
(label=<key>
or label=<key>=<value>
),
which removes networks with the specified labels. The other
format is the label!=...
(label!=<key>
or label!=<key>=<value>
), which removes
networks without the specified labels.
The following removes networks created more than 5 minutes ago. Note that
system networks such as bridge
, host
, and none
will never be pruned:
$ docker network ls
