docker: Show detailed information on disk usage.
$ docker system df --verbose
try on your machine

The command "docker system df --verbose" is used to display detailed information about the Docker storage usage on your system.

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "docker": It is the command-line interface (CLI) for running Docker commands.
  • "system": It is a subcommand that allows you to manage various aspects of the Docker system.
  • "df": It is another subcommand that stands for "disk usage", which provides information about the Docker storage utilization.
  • "--verbose": It is an optional flag that adds more details to the output. With this flag, you get additional information such as the size of each storage component (images, containers, volumes, cache), the amount of space used, and the percentage of storage used.

By running this command, you will receive a detailed overview of the Docker storage consumption on your system, helping you identify if any cleanup or optimization is required.
