Ability to clean up old docker images/layers from hosted repository

    Description

      There is currently no way to clean up old docker images from a hosted repository.

      Docker images can be very large, and are often deployed in environments where access to older versions of an image is not necessary.

      There should be a scheduled task to clean up old hosted docker images, and to also clean up layers which are no longer used by any hosted images.

      Acceptance Criteria

      • A user will be able to purge Docker images older than X days from a Docker hosted repository
        • Since Docker images share layers we can't remove all of the layers attached to the image, we have to remove them after we know they aren't used anymore
        • As a part of removing the old images, we should clean up all orphaned layers
