如何解决 image has dependent child images 错误
问题
在 Docker 中删除 image 时有时会遇到类似
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 6ec9a5a0fc9f (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
这样的错误，原因是有另外的 image FROM 了这个 image，可以使用下面的命令列出所有在指定 image 之后创建的 image 的父 image
docker image inspect --format='{{.RepoTags}} {{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker image ls -q --filter since=xxxxxx)
其中 xxxxxx 是报错 image 的 id，在文章开头的例子中就是 6ec9a5a0fc9f。从列表中查找到之后就可以核对并删除这些 image。
示例
1、查看我的镜像列表。
➜ ~ docker images -a
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
<none> <none> b707620d204c 8 hours ago 179MB
tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo latest 6586e000b464 8 hours ago 179MB
<none> <none> 54f305491871 10 hours ago 122MB
<none> <none> 97ea9f11c94f 10 hours ago 81.2MB
tingfeng/commit_test latest 58fac7144497 31 hours ago 234MB
tomcat latest 61205f6444f9 2 weeks ago 467MB
ubuntu latest 113a43faa138 2 weeks ago 81.2MB
nginx latest cd5239a0906a 2 weeks ago 109MB
hello-world latest e38bc07ac18e 2 months ago 1.85kB
2、删除none的镜像（删不掉）
➜ ~ docker rmi b707620d204c
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete b707620d204c (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
➜ ~ docker rmi 97ea9f11c94f
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 97ea9f11c94f (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
➜ ~ docker rmi -f 54f305491871
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 54f305491871 (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
3、查找出所有在指定 image 之后创建的 image 的父 image，本示例看得出是同一个依赖镜像 tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo
➜ ~ docker image inspect --format='{{.RepoTags}} {{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker image ls -q --filter since=b707620d204c)
[tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo:latest] sha256:6586e000b464654f420b0aa9cf6c3c61cc29edfbbe7cc5cb5d6e0fe037efaf87 sha256:b707620d204ca475f13394b14614e1f2fde986931c925cd8cc8e8bb3de7debe3
➜ ~ docker image inspect --format='{{.RepoTags}} {{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker image ls -q --filter since=54f305491871)
[tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo:latest] sha256:6586e000b464654f420b0aa9cf6c3c61cc29edfbbe7cc5cb5d6e0fe037efaf87 sha256:b707620d204ca475f13394b14614e1f2fde986931c925cd8cc8e8bb3de7debe3
➜ ~ docker image inspect --format='{{.RepoTags}} {{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker image ls -q --filter since=97ea9f11c94f)
[tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo:latest] sha256:6586e000b464654f420b0aa9cf6c3c61cc29edfbbe7cc5cb5d6e0fe037efaf87 sha256:b707620d204ca475f13394b14614e1f2fde986931c925cd8cc8e8bb3de7debe3
4、删除关联的依赖镜像，关联的none镜像也会被删除
➜ ~ docker rmi 6586e000b464
Untagged: tingfeng/dockerfile_build_demo:latest
Deleted: sha256:6586e000b464654f420b0aa9cf6c3c61cc29edfbbe7cc5cb5d6e0fe037efaf87

5、再次查看镜像列表
➜ ~ docker images -a
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
tingfeng/commit_test latest 58fac7144497 31 hours ago 234MB
tomcat latest 61205f6444f9 2 weeks ago 467MB
ubuntu latest 113a43faa138 2 weeks ago 81.2MB
nginx latest cd5239a0906a 2 weeks ago 109MB
hello-world latest e38bc07ac18e 2 months ago 1.85kB
其他操作
# 停止所有容器

# 删除所有容器
➜ ~ docker ps -a | grep "Exited" | awk '{print $1 }'|xargs docker rm
# 删除所有none容器
➜ ~ docker images|grep none|awk '{print $3 }'|xargs docker rmi
