podman-images: List all Podman images not used by any container.
$ podman images --filter dangling=true
try on your machine
The command "podman images --filter dangling=true" is used to display the container images that are "dangling" or not associated with any running or stopped containers.
Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
- "podman": This is the command-line tool used for managing containers and container images. It is an alternative to Docker.
- "images": This subcommand is used to list the container images available on the system.
- "--filter dangling=true": This parameter filters the images based on a specified criteria. In this case, it filters the images that are considered "dangling," meaning they are not associated with any containers.
By running this command, the system will display a list of container images that are currently not linked to any containers, helping users to identify and remove unused images to free up storage space.
