June 9, 20251 yr I'm having troubles with Docker. In this thread, I think @trurl is advising against raising over 50GB:"if you think you need to increase it to more than 50G, ask for help, you probably have something misconfigured."I asked there last week, but not had a response and even though I've removed some of my larger, lesser used containers, I'm still having issues.Would also like to dabble with some LLMs soon, so am definitely going to need more space. Here's what my Container Size looks like today. Does it look like I have issues? What's the best way for me to proceed from here?

June 10, 20251 yr Community Expert Increasing size seems reasonable. Folder can cause issues of its own.
June 10, 20251 yr Community Expert There is only 30GB being used, 50GB seems overkill but something has to be misconfigured as these containers should not be writing data inside the docker.img
