docker disk utilization - docker fails to update


Go to solution Solved by Hoopster,

Hi, looks like my docker image file is running out of space. I have searched for a solution, but haven't found one yet. I can easily expand the docker image allocation if that is the solution, but it's already at 30g. I have 8 dockers and i'm not able to update those due to the image file out of space. I ran the Scrub and it came back with no errors. Do i just need to continue to bump up my allocation to accommodate more dockers or updates of the dockers i already have? From what i have searched it looks like this file shouldn't be very big. 

Thanks!

I have about 20 docker containers and the docker.img is 20GB with only 56% utilized.  In most cases, you should never need an docker image file larger than 20GB

 

A docker.img that keeps growing and needs to be made bigger from time to time is an indication that one or more containers have improper path mappings and is writing data into the docker image.

 

You should start by clicking on the Container Size button at the bottom of the Docker page to see the current size of each container.  If one or more appears to be unusually large, start looking at the path mappings you have for the container and post them in the support thread for the container where you can get some help to see if anything is mapped incorrectly.
