NAME
       docker-images - List images

SYNOPSIS
       docker  images  [--help]  [-a|--all]  [--digests] [-f|--filter[=[]]] [--no-trunc] [-q|--quiet]
       [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]

DESCRIPTION
       This command lists the images stored in the local Docker repository.

       By default, intermediate images, used during builds, are not listed. Some of the output, e.g.,
       image ID, is truncated, for space reasons. However the truncated image ID, and often the first
       few characters, are enough to be used in other Docker commands that use the image ID. The out‐
       put includes repository, tag, image ID, date created and the virtual size.

       The title REPOSITORY for the first title may seem confusing. It is essentially the image name.
       However, because you can tag a specific image, and multiple  tags  (image  instances)  can  be
       associated  with  a  single name, the name is really a repository for all tagged images of the
       same name. For example consider an image called fedora. It may be tagged with 18, 19,  or  20,
       etc. to manage different versions.

OPTIONS
       -a, --all=true|false
          Show  all  images  (by  default  filter  out the intermediate image layers). The default is
       false.

       --digests=true|false
          Show image digests. The default is false.

       -f, --filter=[]
          Filters the output. The dangling=true filter finds unused images. While label=com.foo=amd64
       filters  for  images with a com.foo value of amd64. The label=com.foo filter finds images with
       the label com.foo of any value.

       --format="TEMPLATE"
          Pretty-print containers using a Go template.
          Valid placeholders:
             .ID - Image ID
             .Repository - Image repository
             .Tag - Image tag
             .Digest - Image digest
             .CreatedSince - Elapsed time since the image was created.
             .CreatedAt - Time when the image was created..
             .Size - Image disk size.

       --help
         Print usage statement

       --no-trunc=true|false
          Don't truncate output. The default is false.

       -q, --quiet=true|false
          Only show numeric IDs. The default is false.

EXAMPLES
Listing the images
       To list the images in a local repository (not the registry) run:

              docker images

       The list will contain the image repository name, a tag for the image, and an image ID, when it
       was created and its virtual size. Columns: REPOSITORY, TAG, IMAGE ID, CREATED, and SIZE.

       The  docker  images  command  takes an optional [REPOSITORY[:TAG]] argument that restricts the
       list to images that match the argument. If you specify REPOSITORYbut no TAG, the docker images
       command lists all images in the given repository.

              docker images java

       The  [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]  value  must be an "exact match". This means that, for example, docker
       images jav does not match the image java.

              docker images java

       The  [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]  value  must be an "exact match". This means that, for example, docker
       images jav does not match the image java.

       If both REPOSITORY and TAG are provided, only images matching  that  repository  and  tag  are
       listed.  To find all local images in the "java" repository with tag "8" you can use:

              docker images java:8

       To  get a verbose list of images which contains all the intermediate images used in builds use
       -a:

              docker images -a

       Previously, the docker images command supported the --tree and  --dot  arguments,  which  dis‐
       played  different  visualizations of the image data. Docker core removed this functionality in
       the 1.7 version. If you liked this functionality, you can still find  it  in  the  third-party
       dockviz tool: ⟨https://github.com/justone/dockviz⟩.

Listing only the shortened image IDs
       Listing just the shortened image IDs. This can be useful for some automated tools.
