Docker Nuke

Sometimes I want to rebuild my docker images or containers and start from scratch.

The following alias will just do that:

~/.config/fish/config.fish bash

alias stop_docker_containers "docker stop (docker ps -a -q)"
alias remove_docker_containers "docker rm (docker ps -a -q)"
alias delete_docker_images "docker rmi -f (docker images -a -q)"
alias delete_docker_volumes "docker volume rm -f (docker volume ls -q)"
alias docker_prune "docker system prune -a"

function docker_nuke
  stop_docker_containers
  remove_docker_containers
  delete_docker_images
  delete_docker_volumes
  docker_prune
end

I use Fish but you should be able to convert it to your shell of choice.
