Node-Docker-Prune is a Node.js app designed to automate the process of pruning unused docker images by running the "docker image prune -a" command periodically. This app is particularly useful for managing game servers, web applications, or any service that requires periodic pruning of docker images to ensure optimal performance.
To install Node-Docker-Prune, clone the Git repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/YoloFTW/Node-Docker-Prune.git
cd Node-Docker-Prune
npm install
To configure Node-Docker-Prune edit the .env file with the correct time and discord webhook url.
The default time is set at 00:00:00 each day.
You can also edit the "TITLE" variable to change how the module is reflected in the webhook message.
Node-Docker-Prune will also need elevated privilages to run. This can be acomplished either by running as sudo NOT RECOMENDED or by running the app as a user with access to docker commands.
This can be done with:
sudo adduser newuser
The new user then can be added to the docker group with:
sudo usermod -aG docker newuser
To start Node-Docker-Prune, run the following command:
node index.js
If you want to use the new user whilst logged into a different acoount, this can be acomplished with:
sudo -u newuser node index.js
Once configured and started, Node-Docker-Prune will handle the automatic pruning of unused docker images as per the defined schedule. It will also send status updates to the specified Discord webhook after each restart.
