How to analyze disk usage of a Docker container

After 1.13.0, Docker includes a new command docker system df to show docker disk usage.

$ docker system df
TYPE            TOTAL        ACTIVE     SIZE        RECLAIMABLE
Images          5            1          2.777 GB    2.647 GB (95%)
Containers      1            1          0 B         0B
Local Volumes   4            1          3.207 GB    2.261 (70%)

To show more detailed information on space usage:

$ docker system df --verbose

To see the file size of your containers, you can use the --size argument of docker ps:

docker ps --size
