The thing is.
When you just take a teeny weeny bit of time....
You could do the following:
- script
- fetch list of protected container attributes (names, tags)
- fetch list of images to expunge
- walk over, chunk by fixed size, excluding protected containers
- nuke that shit.
I'd recommend this over and over simply because - once it's tested - it will spare you _so much pain_.

Go big or go home.
I was cleaning up dangling images in docker, and I accidentally removed the production database container as well.
Its not a big issue, I can just up the container back and everything should be fine. But after I up the container and connected to the database, I found out there's no data inside. I thought I fucked up, and sent msg in slack channel that I nuked the db.
Later my friend asked me which compose file I am using and that's when I realized I used the wrong config to up the db. Used the correct config to up the database again and everything goes back to normal.
It's friday evening and if I really dropped the db it would be fucking bad weekend....
