What is the 'cool_kepler' docker image?

Just ran docker container ls -a and noticed something weird:

bb928f3612cb   discourse/base:2.0.20231218-0429   "/bin/bash -c '/usr/…"   2 weeks ago    Exited (0) 2 weeks ago                                                                                                             cool_kepler

All the other docker images are my discourse forums, but I don’t recognise this one - it also seems to have been created when I started experiencing other issues.

“unnamed” docker containers get a random name assigned to them, e.g.:

○ → docker run -it debian:latest
root@106e6c22914a:/# exit

○ → docker container ls -a
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND  CREATED         STATUS                     NAMES
106e6c22914a   debian:latest  "bash"   33 seconds ago  Exited (0) 29 seconds ago  silly_rhodes

please allow me to present for your entertainment my favourite example of this:

If you’re curious what it did you can check its logs: docker logs -t bb928f3612cb

but it should be safe to remove; it may have been left when you aborted a rebuild.

Thanks, I removed it with ./launcher cleanup and reclaimed 35GB :upside_down_face:

That makes sense - a rebuild hanged so had to be aborted.
