Just did this yesterday myself

Since this is your first post, you should note that increasing docker.img size is usually not the correct solution to filling docker.img. Some people may need it to be somewhat larger than 20G, but most don't, and if your docker.img usage is growing that means you have apps writing into docker.img instead of to mapped storage. Making docker.img larger won't fix that, it will only make it take longer to fill.

You're very right. I didn't mention it since the OP said in the post above mine that they simply have "a lot of containers" and not an issue with growth. But for anyone else ending up in this thread, it's worth mentioning that understanding docker.img growth is also touched on in the FAQ.
