Once in a while, you may need to cleanup resources (containers, volumes, images, networks) ...

delete volumes

// see: https://github.com/chadoe/docker-cleanup-volumes

jq: JSONL → TSV conversion

What is TSV?

TSV means "tab-separated values". I prefer this format over CSV ("comma-separated values") because it doesn't require as much quoting. Many programs that can use CSV formatted data can also use TSV, although they may need to be explicitly told of the different format if it's not detected automatically.

However, in any of the jq scripts below, "@tsv" can usually be replaced with "@csv" to get CSV output instead.
