# info


    Usage: docker info [OPTIONS]

    Display system-wide information

      --help              Print usage


This command displays system wide information regarding the Docker installation.
Information displayed includes the kernel version, number of containers and images.
The number of images shown is the number of unique images. The same image tagged
under different names is counted only once.

Depending on the storage driver in use, additional information can be shown, such
as pool name, data file, metadata file, data space used, total data space, metadata
space used, and total metadata space.

The data file is where the images are stored and the metadata file is where the
meta data regarding those images are stored. When run for the first time Docker
allocates a certain amount of data space and meta data space from the space
available on the volume where `/var/lib/docker` is mounted.

## Display Docker system information

Here is a sample output for a daemon running on Ubuntu, using the overlay
storage driver:

The global `-D` option tells all `docker` commands to output debug information.

The example below shows the output for a daemon running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
using the devicemapper storage driver. As can be seen in the output, additional
information about the devicemapper storage driver is shown:
