June 27, 20233 yr My docker recently failed to restart and thanks to the forum pointing out my docker storage usage I was able to temporarily resolve the issue by making my image larger, but I want to understand which docker(s?) is taking up most of the space, maybe I have some poorly configured settings? Is there somewhere in the gui or a terminal command I can see which dockers are using how much? Thanks!
June 27, 20233 yr 5 minutes ago, Stumpy said: Is there somewhere in the gui or a terminal command I can see which dockers are using how much? in the Docker tab will list the size of each container. Look for ones that are unusually large. Some are 1-3GB normally so every large size container is not necessarily a problem. If in doubt, ask in the specific container support thread.
June 28, 20233 yr Author Doh... I shoulda seen that. I took a look and well, have a follow up question. My docker.img was 20gb and apparently 100% full so I increased it to 30GB, But when I look at container size all the dockers look somewhat normal in terms of size, but the total is 10.9GB? Am i missing something?
May 24, 20242 yr I'm having the same issue. Looking at the container sizes, the total doesn't exceed 3.1GB and the docker image size is set to 38GB, yet I still get regular warnings of docker image use > 98%. Not always, granted, but at least a few times a week. Any ideas what might be causing the image usage to be so high?
April 6Apr 6 Did you ever get clarity on this, this is a recurring issue for me, it’s a constant countdown, I have updated the virtual image to 50Gb but still get hit !? I can’t for the life work out the cause..This seems to be a recurring thing, what is it not possible to have a simply view that show what is writing to the docker.img file so steps can be taken to address it?
April 6Apr 6 Community Expert The usual cause of filling docker.img is an application writing to a path that isn't mapped.Also make sure you don't have any orphans. On the Docker page, there is a slider at upper right which switches between Basic and Advanced View. Put it on Advanced and see if you have some orphans listed at the bottom.
