How can I delete Docker images by tag, preferably with wildcarding?

by

Using only docker filtering:

 docker rmi $(docker images --filter=reference="*:stuff_*" -q)
  • reference="*:stuff_*" filter allows you to filter images using a wildcard;
  • -q option is for displaying only image IDs.

Update: Wildcards are matched like paths. That means if your image id is my-company/my-project/my-service:v123 then the * won’t match it, but the */*/* will. See the github issue for description.
