# Janitor
|
|
|
|
### Topology
|
|
|
|
A Janitor instance will be started on every host that does not match the
|
|
scheduling rule (default is `janitor.exclude=true`).
|
|
|
|
### Operation
|
|
|
|
This will run a task daily (by default) that will delete any unused
|
|
image, and any orphaned volume. The rancher container images are excluded
|
|
from the list of images to clean up, and you can add your own containers to
|
|
the exclude list if you wish. It will also remove any stopped containers
|
|
that are taking up space.
|
|
|
|
This will halp to prevent the /var/lib/docker filesystem from filling up
|
|
with old and unused container images.
|
|
|
|
### Keep list
|
|
|
|
You can specify match patterns for unused Images, and stopped Containers,
|
|
which should be excluded from the cleanup.
|
|
|
|
The match patterns are comma-separated Left Anchored Bash Shell wildcard
|
|
patterns. For example, an image called **foo/bar:latest** will match:
|
|
|
|
* foo/
|
|
* foo/bar
|
|
* \*:latest
|
|
* \*/bar
|
|
* \*:\*
|
|
* fo
|
|
|
|
However it will notmatch
|
|
|
|
* foo/baz
|
|
* bar:latest
|
|
* foo/\*:v1
|
|
|
|
By default, nothing will be matched. If you want to match everything,
|
|
then use a pattern **\*:\***
|
|
|
|
### Warning
|
|
|
|
If you are using 'run-once' sidekick containers that mount a volume, then
|
|
these containers may be removed by Janitor! Ensure that the list of
|
|
Containers to keep matches these containers -- setting it to
|
|
'\*:\*' will keep all containers, which is in general the best solution.
