Getting into a running docker

[dalben]

Since the latest b10 update, and/or the addition of the polipo docker, my docker file has gone from well under 10gb in size to now approach 18gb.

 

Is there a way for me to delve into the containers to see what's going on?  Ideally I could find out what's eating the space and stop it. Starting and stopping docker makes no difference.

 

Being a noob, if there is a delve in with mc that would be the assets for me.  The other option is Rostov poliipo but that would not me as I would need to reconfigure my kodi devices.

 

The docker image lives on my sdd btrfs cache drive.

If you are running b12 or newer then its easy

 

docker exec -it polipo bash

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

 

Yes, I made a mistake there, it is b12 I upgrad too.

OK, didn't see anything odd inside the running containers.  Any other clues ?  It grew another Gb last night.

 

attached is a screen shot of my dockerman page if that helps

What exactly grew and how did you detect it?

My 10gb docker image ran out of space.  Containers wouldn't start/stopped running.  That's what happened, that how I found it.

 

I spent a good part of 2 hours trawling my why through the docker image.  I found 6gb of couchpotato container logs and another gb in sickrage.  Then under subvolumes I found a heap that were old/not needed (I think). I removed them for another 3gb of saving.  I am now down to 6gb used again but I'll monitor closely.

OK all those ones you found with log creep are bugs. Can you report them to the maintainers?
