Docker Image filling up

[mihcox]

All,

 

Is there a tool that will show me why my docker is getting full, and what is using the most space. I have 35gb docker image, and about 30 or so dockers running. I get notifications that it hit 80 percent, and im trying to see if i can tell what is causing this increase.

 

Any advice on how to see individual docker usage would be great!

Docker Tab, hit Container Size at the bottom.  Will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about where it's coming from and then you can make appropriate adjustments with your logging, path mapping etc

A typical cause is an application writing to a path that isn't mapped. Common mistakes are not using the same upper/lower case as in the mapping, or not using an absolute path /.

 

Note that this is referring to a setting within an application. For example, if you have transmission writing to Download, but your mapping has a container path of download, then it would write into the docker image because Download isn't mapped.

 

I came to this thread after seeing your more recent thread about filling cache. Probably you have several things wrong with the way you have setup your dockers that is causing multiple issues.
