Pitch
Each deploy creates a new container (old one is explicitly removed),
orphaning its logs and leaving dangling images from the local build.
On a Pi/server with limited storage this accumulates silently.
Technical suggestions
Two options to discuss:
- Deploy-time: add a
docker system prune -f task in the engine role
(or deploy-engines playbook), runs on each deploy
- Cron: add a periodic
docker system prune -f in engine_cron role,
decoupled from deploy
Note: avoid docker system prune -af in cron — would delete local tagged
images if container is temporarily stopped.
