docker image prune -af --filter until=2h keyed on image CREATION time, so a
base image built days ago that merely had no container at that instant was
"aged" — including one a job had just pulled and not yet created. Measured
2026-08-07: three job failures, each coinciding with a prune tick to the
second ("No such image: …punktfunk-rust-ci:latest", every step cancelled),
plus a 4-7 GB re-pull of every idle base image within minutes.
The routine tick now retires only what this host actually accretes — per-SHA
app tags older than 2h (their creation time IS the local build time) — then
sweeps dangling layers, which cannot touch a tagged image. The blanket -a
prune survives only in the near-ENOSPC burst guard, where one re-pull beats
every concurrent job dying.
docker-reclaim.{sh,service,timer} are the hourly leak reclaimer that so far
lived hand-installed on home-runner-1 only; home-runner-2 went without it and
re-accumulated 176 leaked volumes (~60 GB) until jobs died of ENOSPC on
2026-08-06/07. Checked in so both hosts install the same files from here.
