# Docker Volumes Health Check
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This role detects unused **anonymous Docker volumes** that are not bound to any running container.
|
|
It can optionally exclude specific volumes from the check using a configurable whitelist.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The role installs a script and a `systemd` service with a timer to periodically scan for leftover anonymous volumes.
|
|
This helps prevent wasted disk space and leftover resources from old deployments.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of this role is to keep Docker environments clean by identifying and reporting orphaned anonymous volumes.
|
|
It supports a whitelist mechanism to avoid alerting on known or intentional volumes.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Anonymous Volume Detection:** Identifies volumes with 64-character IDs not attached to any container.
|
|
- **Whitelist Support:** Skips volumes listed in `whitelisted_anonymous_docker_volumes`.
|
|
- **Bootstrap Volume Exclusion:** Ignores known bootstrap volumes (e.g., `/var/www/bootstrap`).
|
|
- **Systemd Integration:** Installs a one-shot service and timer to automate checks.
|
|
- **Alerting Support:** Works with the [`sys-alm-compose`](../sys-alm-compose/README.md) role for failure notifications.
