xsbinc/docker-gc repository overview

A variant on Spotify's docker-gc container that runs garbage collection daily a nightly cron job. See the original (excellent) docker-gc resource at https://github.com/spotify/docker-gc⁠.

By default, this container will simply set up the cron job and sit patiently in the background. To execute as an on-demand cleanup job, you'll need to execute "docker-gc" explicitly on the command line.

To execute, run the following:

docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock xsbinc/docker-gc:latest

If you want to explicitly include a docker-gc-exclude file, you can mount it in with an additional -v flag. If the file is located at /data/docker-gc-exclude (for example) include the following flag in the above command:

-v /data/docker-gc-exclude:/etc/docker-gc-exclude
