SOLVED docker system df: Total number of images does not equal installed apps

[ctrl]

Hello Team,

I just ran docker system df. It outputs 16 images und 18 containers as a grand total although we only have 8 apps installed currently. Are the remaining images/containers some kind of cruft?

root@my ~ # docker system df
TYPE                TOTAL               ACTIVE              SIZE                RECLAIMABLE
Images              16                  16                  8.133GB             1.45GB (17%)
Containers          18                  17                  69.63kB             0B (0%)
Local Volumes       42                  34                  378.4MB             70.35kB (0%)
Build Cache         0                   0                   0B                  0B

If u use Apps, that need more container, like nextcloud or wp, you need to count redis too, for exemple.
And there are System Apps to, like Haraka for the email

Thank you very much for the clarification!

@ctrl Yeah, I think if you run docker ps you'll be able to see what's going on a bit better. The apps use databases like mysql, mongodb, redis; There's also other addons like sftp, mail, turn, and graphite.
