January 25, 2025 · AI Conversations
1. **Check Disk Usage by Docker**
This command gives a detailed breakdown of Docker disk usage:
docker system df
This will show:
– Space used by images
– Space used by containers
– Space used by volumes
– Space used by the build cache
2. **List All Containers with Their Sizes**
You can check the sizes of individual containers using:
docker ps -s
This will display running containers and their respective sizes.
3. **Inspect Disk Usage for Specific Containers**
If you want to inspect the disk usage of a specific container, use:
docker inspect <container_id>
4. **Free Up Space**
To clean up unused Docker resources (images, containers, volumes, and build cache):
docker system prune
Add the `-a` flag to also remove unused images:
docker system prune -a
⚠️ Use this command carefully, as it removes unused resources.

—
Let me know if you need help increasing Docker's disk size!
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 37G 33G 1.7G 96%
– **Total Size:** 37GB
– **Used:** 33GB
– **Available:** 1.7GB
– **Usage:** 96%
This means you're running low on disk space. To resolve this, you can either free up space or allocate more disk space to the partition. Here's how to proceed:
—
### **Option 1: Free Up Space**
1. **Prune Unused Docker Resources**
Clear unused images, containers, volumes, and cache:
docker system prune -a --volumes
2. **Inspect Disk Usage**
Check large folders under `/var/lib/docker`:
sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker/* | sort -h
This will show which subdirectories consume the most space.
3. **Remove Specific Docker Resources**
– **Remove old images:**
docker images -a
Identify old images and remove them:
docker rmi <image-id>
– **Remove unused volumes:**
docker volume prune
4. **Clear Build Cache**
docker builder prune
—
### **Option 2: Allocate More Disk Space**
#### **a. Resize the Partition**
If possible, resize the partition `/dev/sdb1` to add more space.
#### **b. Move Docker Storage**
Move Docker's storage directory to a larger partition or disk:
1. Stop Docker:
sudo systemctl stop docker
2. Create a new directory with more space:
sudo mkdir /new/docker/location
3. Move existing data:
sudo mv /var/lib/docker/* /new/docker/location/
4. Update Docker configuration:
sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
Add or update:
{
"data-root": "/new/docker/location"
}
5. Restart Docker:
sudo systemctl start docker
—
### **Option 3: Verify Docker Disk Usage**
After freeing space or resizing, verify the usage:
docker system df
df -h /var/lib/docker
Let me know which solution you prefer or if you need further help!
TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 10 10 3.386GB 1.733GB (51%)
Containers 12 12 20.36MB 0B (0%)
Local Volumes 20 5 5.626GB 3.173GB (56%)
Build Cache 0 0 0B 0B
– **Images:** 10 total, 10 active, 3.386GB (1.733GB reclaimable).
– **Containers:** 12 total, 12 active, 20.36MB (none reclaimable).
– **Local Volumes:** 20 total, 5 active, 5.626GB (3.173GB reclaimable).
– **Build Cache:** 0 bytes (clean).
—
### **Steps to Free Disk Space**
#### **1. Remove Unused Images**
There’s **1.733GB** of unused images that can be reclaimed:
docker image prune -a
#### **2. Remove Unused Volumes**
There’s **3.173GB** of unused volumes that can be reclaimed:
docker volume prune
—
### **Verify Disk Usage After Cleanup**
After performing the cleanup steps, check the updated space:
docker system df
df -h /var/lib/docker
If space is still low, consider increasing the partition size for `/dev/sdb1` or moving Docker's storage to a larger disk as outlined earlier. Let me know how it goes!
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 37G 33G 2.4G 94%
– **Total Size:** 37GB
– **Used:** 33GB
– **Available:** 2.4GB
– **Usage:** 94%
While the available space has slightly increased to **2.4GB**, you're still operating at a high usage level (94%), which can lead to issues. Here are some additional steps you can take to free up more space or increase your disk capacity:
### **Additional Cleanup Steps**
1. **Remove Unused Docker Images and Containers Again**
If you haven't already run these commands, do so:
docker system prune -a --volumes
2. **Check for Large Docker Resources**
Identify large images, volumes, or containers:
sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker/* | sort -h
3. **Remove Specific Images and Containers**
If you find large images or containers that you no longer need, you can remove them individually:
– List images:
docker images
– Remove specific images:
docker rmi <image-id>
– List containers:
docker ps -a
– Remove specific stopped containers:
docker rm <container-id>
4. **Remove Unused Volumes**
If you have volumes that aren't currently in use, you can remove them:
docker volume prune
### **Increase Disk Space**
If you've cleaned up but still need more space:
#### **1. Resize the Partition**
Consider resizing the partition `/dev/sdb1` if possible. This would involve using a partition manager like `gparted` on Linux.
#### **2. Move Docker Storage**
You can also consider moving Docker's data directory to a larger disk or partition. Refer to the previous instructions on how to do this.
### **Verify Again**
After performing additional cleanup, check the disk usage once more:
df -h /var/lib/docker
Let me know how it goes or if you need more assistance!
du: cannot access '/var/lib/docker/*': No such file or directory
### **1. Check Docker Directory Existence**
First, ensure that the `/var/lib/docker` directory exists and is accessible:
ls -l /var/lib/docker
### **2. Check for Subdirectories**
If the directory exists, list its contents to see which subdirectories are present:
sudo ls -l /var/lib/docker
### **3. Check Docker Resource Sizes Again**
If the directory is accessible, run the disk usage command again, but specify the full path without the wildcard:
sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker/*
### **4. Check Disk Usage for Docker Specifically**
Alternatively, if you want to check the total disk usage for Docker without specifying the subdirectories, run:
sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker
### **5. Verify Docker Status**
Make sure the Docker service is running properly:
sudo systemctl status docker
If you encounter any issues with the directory or Docker itself, please share the error messages or outputs, and I can assist you further!
15G /var/lib/docker
### **Understanding Docker Disk Usage**
– **15GB for `/var/lib/docker`:** This size includes all Docker resources such as images, containers, volumes, and build cache.
– **Used Space:** You mentioned earlier that the partition `/dev/sdb1` is showing **33GB used**, meaning Docker is consuming a significant portion of your disk space.
### **Steps to Free Up Space in Docker**
1. **Remove Unused Images:**
Since you have many images, it's helpful to remove any unused ones:
docker image prune -a
2. **Remove Stopped Containers:**
If you have any stopped containers, you can remove them:
docker container prune
3. **Remove Unused Volumes:**
Volumes can also take up a lot of space, especially if they store persistent data. Clean up unused volumes:
docker volume prune
4. **Remove Build Cache:**
Although your earlier check showed 0 bytes for build cache, ensure it’s clear:
docker builder prune
5. **Inspect Specific Directories:**
To find large directories within `/var/lib/docker`, you can inspect subdirectories:
sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker/* | sort -h
### **Alternative: Move Docker Data to a Larger Disk**
If you're still running low on disk space after cleanup:
1. **Identify a Larger Disk:** If you have a separate disk or partition with more space, consider moving Docker's data there.
2. **Stop Docker:**
sudo systemctl stop docker
3. **Move the Data:**
Move the existing Docker data to the new location:
sudo mv /var/lib/docker /new/docker/location
4. **Update Docker Configuration:**
Modify the Docker daemon configuration to point to the new data root. Edit or create `/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
{
"data-root": "/new/docker/location"
}
5. **Start Docker:**
sudo systemctl start docker
### **Verify Space Again**
After cleanup or moving the Docker data, check the space again:
df -h /var/lib/docker
