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 visualizes 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**, so 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 recognize (started outside it) |

The first three buttons have a **More options** dropdown that lets you target **all Docker resources** instead of Sencho-only. Use this carefully, as it can affect other Compose projects running on the same host. The "Purge Unmanaged Containers" button always targets unmanaged containers only.

A confirmation dialog appears before any destructive operation, showing a summary of what will be removed. While the operation runs, a loading notification appears so you know Sencho is working. Once complete, a success or error notification replaces it with details on how much space was reclaimed.

## 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 in a Sencho-managed stack
- `In Use` + `External` - image is used by a container outside Sencho
- `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>
  <img src="/images/networks/create-network.png" alt="Create Network dialog with name, driver, subnet, and gateway fields" />
</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
- **Options** - Driver-specific options applied to the network (when present)
- **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)'}}>Skipper</span>

Switch to the **Topology** view to see an interactive graph of your Docker networks and the containers connected to them. The graph uses automatic hierarchical layout (networks on top, containers below) that scales cleanly regardless of how many networks and containers you have.

<Frame>
  <img src="/images/networks/network-topology.png" alt="Network topology visualization showing containers connected to networks" />
</Frame>

- **Network nodes** - Dashed border cards showing network name and driver, color-coded by status (managed, external, system)
- **Container nodes** - Cards showing container name, state indicator, stack badge, image name, and IP addresses per network
- **Edges** - Animated color-coded connections between networks and their containers
- **Click-to-logs** - Click any running container node to open its log viewer directly
- Pan, zoom, and drag nodes to explore the topology
- A mini map in the bottom-right provides an overview

##### Show system networks

By default, system networks (`bridge`, `host`, `none`) are hidden. Toggle **Show system networks** to include them in the graph, which is useful for debugging containers attached to the default bridge network.

<Note>
  Network Topology requires a Skipper or Admiral license. 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`. A badge on the tab shows the count of unmanaged containers when any are detected.
