docker pull --> no space left on device

[amamus]

Hi Tony,
thank you for your awesome work!

I would like to share and issue with you, I had to deal with.
I ran into "no space left on device" while pulling docker since default docker path is /var/lib/docker/ and default partion size is too small.

Solution is actually pretty easy:
mkdir /data/docker_storage chmod -R 777 /data/docker_storage

Change /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
from:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd://
to:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -g /data/docker_storage -H fd://

mv /var/lib/docker/* /data/docker_storage/.

reboot hifiberry

check your result:
ps aux | grep -i docker | grep -v grep

and start tidal docker installation again.

I hope this issue is a benefit to some folks.

Take care
David

Hi! I am not familiar enough with ssh and linux to understand how to perform theses steps:

---

Change /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
from:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd://
to:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -g /data/docker_storage -H fd://

mv /var/lib/docker/* /data/docker_storage/.

can you provide a bit more details to newbies like me?

change file content:

1. connect via ssh to hifiberrry
2. vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service (please google for usage)
3. look out for row which needs needs to be chaged "ExecStart ..."
4. change it
5. save the file.

move files:

1. connect via ssh to hifiberrry
2. mv /var/lib/docker/* /data/docker_storage/.

That's it actually.
Note:
mv == shell move command
vi is a shell editor

Thanks for the pointers! I was able to figure it out with those extra hints! I also found that managing most of this with WinSCP is a lot easier than using a terminal :)
