it seems ervery rebuild i did left behind a docker image named sha256:xxxxx with about 2,5gb in size on a plesk managed system - is it safe to delete them? is it only /app and /base that’s needed?

tia,

One of those containers is the one that’s currently running.

Look at the `launcher` script for the commands that make up the `cleanup` command, break them apart, and run them manually after checking that you’re not deleting anything needed by other parts of your system.

not sure what’s meant with ‘breaking appart’ - but i just ran `./launcher -cleanup` which removed all the sha256:s and added an image ‘samsaffron/docker-gc’ .. app still running fine..

Oh, okay. I assumed you had other Docker apps running on the system since you were using a manager.

no, just one discourse instance running on a server that otherwise will only be used for classic webserving.

you think there’s a chance -cleanup would touch non-discourse images as well? (just for future reference)
