The **Resources** tab gives you a full view of everything Docker is storing on your host, broken down by type and ownership.

## Docker disk footprint

The stacked bar at the top visualises how your Docker disk usage is distributed:

| Segment | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| **Sencho Managed** (green) | Images used by stacks in your `COMPOSE_DIR` |
| **External Projects** (orange) | Images used by Docker projects outside Sencho |
| **Reclaimable** (gray) | Unused images and dangling layers safe to delete |

Click any segment to automatically filter the tabs below to that category.

## Quick Clean panel

Four prune buttons let you reclaim disk space immediately. By default they operate on **Sencho-managed resources only** - they will not touch external Docker projects.

| Button | What it removes |
|--------|----------------|
| **Prune Unused Images** | Images with no running containers in Sencho stacks |
| **Prune Unused Volumes** | Volumes not attached to any Sencho container |
| **Prune Dead Networks** | Networks not connected to any Sencho container |
| **Purge Unmanaged Containers** | Containers Sencho doesn't recognise (started outside it) |

Each button has a **⋮ More options** menu that lets you target **all Docker resources** instead of Sencho-only. Use this carefully - it can affect other Compose projects running on the same host.

A confirmation dialog appears before any destructive operation, showing a summary of what will be removed.

## Resource tabs

### Images

Lists all Docker images on the host with their ID, repository tag, size, and status.

**Filter buttons:** `All` · `Managed` · `External`

**Status badges:**
- `In Use` + stack name - image is actively used by a running container
- `Unused` - image has no running containers; safe to delete

Click the trash icon on any row to delete an individual image. Sencho will warn you if the image is in use.

### Volumes

Lists all Docker volumes. Columns: name, driver, mount point, size, and managed status.

**Filter buttons:** `All` · `Managed` · `External`

<Warning>
  Deleting a volume is permanent. Any data stored in it will be lost. Always back up important volume data before pruning.
</Warning>

### Networks

Lists all Docker networks. Columns: ID, name, driver, scope (`local`, `global`, `swarm`), and managed status.

**Filter buttons:** `All` · `Managed` · `External`

System networks (like `bridge`, `host`, `none`) are shown but cannot be deleted.

#### Create network

Click **+ Create Network** (admin only) to open the creation dialog.

</Frame>

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| **Name** | Yes | Alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, and dots |
| **Driver** | No | `bridge` (default), `overlay`, `macvlan`, `host`, or `none` |
| **Subnet** | No | CIDR notation, e.g. `172.20.0.0/16` |
| **Gateway** | No | Gateway IP, e.g. `172.20.0.1` |
| **Internal** | No | Isolates the network from external access |
| **Attachable** | No | Allows containers to be manually attached |

#### Inspect network

Click the eye icon on any network row to open a detail panel showing:

- **Overview** — ID, driver, scope, creation date, internal/attachable flags
- **IPAM configuration** — Subnet, gateway, and IP range
- **Connected containers** — Container name, IPv4 address, and MAC address
- **Labels** — All Docker labels applied to the network

#### Network topology <span style={{fontSize: '0.75em', color: 'var(--brand)'}}>Pro</span>

Switch to the **Topology** view to see an interactive graph of your Docker networks and the containers connected to them. System networks (`bridge`, `host`, `none`) are excluded for clarity.

</Frame>

- **Network nodes** — Dashed border cards showing network name and driver, color-coded by status (managed, external, system)
- **Container nodes** — Cards showing container name with IP addresses per network
- **Edges** — Animated connections between networks and their containers
- Pan, zoom, and drag nodes to explore the topology
- A mini map in the bottom-right provides an overview

<Note>
  Network Topology requires a Sencho Pro license (Skipper or Admiral). Community users see an upgrade prompt.
</Note>

### Unmanaged

Lists containers running on the host that are not part of any Sencho-managed stack. This includes containers started with `docker run`, or Compose projects outside your `COMPOSE_DIR`.

This view is useful for identifying orphaned containers after a failed deployment or after moving stacks in and out of `COMPOSE_DIR`.
