Use docker in docker to drive docker from a container
Working under windows, sometimes docker slow down. Sometimes you need to access to the MobyVM.
With this line:
docker run --rm -ti -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" -v /:/host docker sh
you run a container which will removed upon exit. This container can access to docker daemon (via the docker in docker image) and has also access to MobyVM under the /host mount point.
Keep in mind this container has total access to your windows C: disk too, so be careful!
Find the total memory % used by your containers:
docker stats --no-stream --format "table {{.MemPerc}}" | sed 's/[A-Za-z]*//g' | awk '{sum += $1} END {print sum "%"}'
Tested with 18.06.1-ce, take a look at https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stats/ for docker stats syntax
UPDATE Find out what you can format: try with the json output
docker images --format='{{json .}}'
#Delete only some image groups, doing a match via docker image command, instead of ugly grep
docker images --format '{{.ID}}' daitangio | xargs docker rmi
# Get service ids for further analisis via docker inspect:
docker service ls --format "{{json .ID}}"
UPDATE 2020 How to remove down node from a cluster (dirty fast):
docker node ls --format '{{.ID}}:{{.Status}}' | grep Down | cut -d : -f 1 | xargs docker node rm
