Recently nuked my server and started again with a clean install, setting up all my containers again. Can't remember which guide I followed to get the server basics up and running, but am noticing now I don't seem to have a vDisk for docker containers. What am I not understanding here? themagiceye-diagnostics-20260613-1656.zip

It's because you're using docker folder instead of a vDisk. If you want to change to a vDisk image, you need to change that in Settings> Docker

Thanks for the explanation. Are there any particular pro's and con's to either option?

Well, the only pros for using a folder I can think of are that it dynamically expands, whereas with a vDisk you have to delete the image and recreate it with a bigger size if it ever gets close to full.

The con tho is that if you one day need to copy/move the docker folder elsewhere for whatever reason, it's gonna take forever. This is because it consists of millions of small files. And with a vDisk is just one big file. And we all know that it's quicker to copy/move one big file vs millions of small files. With a vDisk tho, you would just delete and recreate, as copy/moving the image can cause corruption.

I personally prefer using a vDisk. I think it's super easy to just nuke the image and recreate it if I need to. It takes like 5 min to install all the containers again. I tried using a folder once, but I had issues with it. Can't remember what it was tho, but I switched back to using a vDisk.
