How to get the list of dependent child images in Docker?

Question

I\'m trying to remove an image and I get:

# docker rmi f50f9524513f  
Failed to remove image (f50f9524513f): Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to          


        

Answer 1

If you don't have a huge number of images, there's always the brute-force approach:

for i in $(docker images -q)
do
    docker history $i | grep -q f50f9524513f && echo $i
done | sort -u
