Image Management
Pull, build, and manage Docker images
Overview
The Images page manages every Docker image on your system — pulling new images, building from a Dockerfile, and cleaning up unused images.
Image List
Every local image shows:
- Repository and tag
- Image ID
- Size
- Created time
Pulling an Image
- Click Pull on the Images page
- Enter the image name and tag (for example,
nginx:latest) - Click Pull to start the download
Pull progress streams in real time, including per-layer download status.
Building an Image
- Click Build on the Images page
- Choose a Dockerfile or the build context directory
- Set the image tag
- Click Build to start
Build output streams live so you can monitor each step.
Managing Images
- Remove — delete an image (fails if a container depends on it)
- Tag — add a new tag to an existing image
- History — view the layer history
- Inspect — see full image metadata in JSON
Pruning
Use Prune to remove every dangling (untagged) image and reclaim disk space.
