• 🗑️ Clean containers, volumes, and images matching patterns
• 💾 SQLite database for persistent configuration storage
• 🔍 Interactive prompts for multiple matches
• 🛡️ Safety confirmations before destructive operations

Installation

1. Install using uv:

uv pip install git+https://github.com/yourusername/docker-tools-plus.git

2. Verify installation:

docker-tools-plus --help

Usage

Create and Execute Cleanup

docker-tools-plus clean <name> [--force]

• Use --force to skip all confirmation prompts
• Automatically cleans all resource types without asking

Example flow without --force:

$ docker-tools-plus clean reconciliation
No cleanup found matching 'reconciliation'
Please enter a regular expression: reconciliation[a-z_]*_postgres

Created new cleanup config:
ID: 1 | Name: reconciliation | Pattern: reconciliation[a-z_]*_postgres

Clean containers? [Y/n]: y
Clean volumes? [Y/n]: y
Clean images? [Y/n]: y

Example with --force:

$ docker-tools-plus clean reconciliation --force
Created new cleanup config:
ID: 1 | Name: reconciliation | Pattern: reconciliation[a-z_]*_postgres
Cleaning containers... done
Cleaning volumes... done
Cleaning images... done

List All Cleanups

docker-tools-plus list

Output:

1: reconciliation - reconciliation[a-z_]*_postgres
2: temp-containers - temp_.+

Delete a Cleanup

docker-tools-plus delete <name>

Example:

$ docker-tools-plus delete temp
Multiple matches found:
1: temp-containers
2: temp-images
Enter the ID to delete: 1
Delete cleanup 'temp-containers' (ID: 1)? [y/N]: y

Reset Database

docker-tools-plus reset

Creates a timestamped backup of the current database and creates a new blank one. Requires confirmation unless --force is used.

Example:

$ docker-tools-plus reset
This will rename your current database and create a new blank one. Continue? [y/N]: y
Renamed existing database to cleanups_20240614_123456.db
Created new blank database successfully.

Configuration

Create configuration.toml to customize:

[database]
path = "custom_cleanups.db"

Development

# Install dev dependencies
uv pip install -e '.[dev]'


# Run tests
make test

# Generate coverage report
make cov

# Lint code
make lint

Database Management

The default application path is ~/.config/docker-tools-plus/.

This path will probably not work on Windows, so you can specify a custom path in configuration.toml:

The SQLite database is automatically created at:

• Default: docker_tools_plus.db
• Custom: Path specified in configuration.toml

Safety Features

1. Confirmation Prompts for destructive operations
   • Always asks before cleaning each resource type (containers/volumes/images)
   • Can be skipped with --force option
2. Separate Resource Types (containers/volumes/images)
3. Force Mode (use with caution):
   • Skips all confirmation prompts
   • Automatically cleans all resource types
   • Requires explicit --force flag:

docker-tools-plus clean <name> --force

⚠️ Warning: Regular expressions are powerful - test patterns with docker ps -a/docker volume ls/docker image ls before creating cleanup configurations.
