FAQ
VM Space Tips (Optional)
Docker by default uses the space from /root directory to store the docker related date, in case /root directory is low on space the default docker directory can be changed to other directory having enough space by following the below steps:
Initial Setup:
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d vi /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf
Add following into above file, but prior to that please check the storage driver used by your server by running :docker info |grep "Storage Driver" and put the output i.e.. "overlay or devicemapper" in below content
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --graph=<dir_having_enough_space> --storage-driver=<output of docker info |grep "Storage Driver">
Save the file and run below commands:
sudo systemctl stop docker sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start docker
If Docker is already setup :
Move contents of folder /var/lib/docker to preferred directory to copy the old images:
mv /var/lib/docker <new app dir> vi /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf
Add following into above file, but prior to that please check the storage driver used by your server by running :docker info |grep "Storage Driver" and put the output i.e.. "overlay or devicemapper" in below content
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --graph=<new_dir_having_enough_space> --storage-driver=<output of docker info |grep "Storage Driver">
Save the file and run below commands:
sudo systemctl stop docker sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start docker
Verify using below command result should contain the provided dir :
docker info |grep "Docker Root Dir:"
