Hi,

are there any information how we could clean / remove unused images from servers after deploy of new docker container with docker\_container mode?  
Currently i’m interesting in module usage with any shell.

Are those modules (docker\_container and docker\_image) support such functionality?

Regards,

They both have an 'absent' state.
