How do I fix the no space left on device error in docker

Question

I’m trying to run docker but every time I run it, I get the below error:

WARNING: No memory limit support 

WARNING: No swap limit support

Answer 1

Just clean up some space on docker, use the following commands:

docker system prune

This will get rid of:

- all stopped containers

- all volumes not used by at least one container

- all networks not used by at least one container

- all dangling images

To clean your system, first remove containers and then the images. By specifying the #CONTAINER_ID and #IMAGE_ID you can remove selected containers and images that are no longer needed.

$ docker rm #CONTAINER_ID

$ docker rmi #IMAGE_ID

Answer 2

I had a similar issue, got the solution fron github. 

add cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 to kernel boot options to enable both swap and memory accounting
/etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"
then sudo grub-update && sudo reboot

Hope that helps :)

Answer 3

Try cleaning up:

$ docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)

List dangling volumes:

$ docker volume ls -qf dangling=true

List all volumes:

$ docker volume ls

2 . Also consider removing all the unused Images.

First get rid of the <none> images 

docker rmi $(docker images | grep '^<none>' | awk '{print $3}')

Then if you are using Docker Compose to build Images locally for every project. You will end up with a lot of images usually named like your folder (example if your project folder named sample, you will find images name sample_blablabla). so also consider removing all these images.You could remove them manually with:

docker rmi {image-name}
