Display system-wide information
docker info [OPTIONS]
| Name, shorthand | Default | Description |
--format , -f | Format the output using the given Go template |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| docker | The base command for the Docker CLI. |
This command displays system wide information regarding the Docker installation. Information displayed includes the kernel version, number of containers and images. The number of images shown is the number of unique images. The same image tagged under different names is counted only once.
If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead of the default format. Go’s text/template package describes all the details of the format.
Depending on the storage driver in use, additional information can be shown, such as pool name, data file, metadata file, data space used, total data space, metadata space used, and total metadata space.
The data file is where the images are stored and the metadata file is where the meta data regarding those images are stored. When run for the first time Docker allocates a certain amount of data space and meta data space from the space available on the volume where /var/lib/docker is mounted.
The example below shows the output for a daemon running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, using the devicemapper storage driver. As can be seen in the output, additional information about the devicemapper storage driver is shown:

If your operating system does not enable certain capabilities, you may see warnings such as one of the following, when you run docker info:
WARNING: Your kernel does not support swap limit capabilities. Limitation discarded.
WARNING: No swap limit support
You can ignore these warnings unless you actually need the ability to limit these resources, in which case you should consult your operating system’s documentation for enabling them. Learn more.
