docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
docker volume ls -qf dangling=true | xargs -r docker volume rm

delete networks

docker network ls  
docker network ls | grep "bridge"   
docker network rm $(docker network ls | grep "bridge" | awk '/ / { print $1 }')

// see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32723111/how-to-remove-old-and-unused-docker-images

docker images
docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)

docker images | grep "none"
docker rmi $(docker images | grep "none" | awk '/ / { print $3 }')
