Hi Jacques and all, Following a request by Jacques to check on disk space used by Docker on our demo sites server (ofbiz-vm1) I thought I would post the steps followed in case they were of interest to others.
I opened a root terminal on ofbiz-vm1: > ssh danwatf...@ofbiz-vm1.apache.org danwatford@ofbiz-vm1:~$ sudo bash I then open a byobu session so I can resume working in case of disconnection: root@ofbiz-vm1:/home/danwatford# byobu To check on disk space usage for the VM: root@ofbiz-vm1:/home/danwatford# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 97G 77G 21G 79% / devtmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev tmpfs 16G 88K 16G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.2G 1.6M 3.2G 1% /run tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock <snip> To check on disk space used by Docker: root@ofbiz-vm1:/home/danwatford# docker system df TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE Images 106 6 49.22GB 47.17GB (95%) Containers 9 8 252.7kB 0B (0%) Local Volumes 23 23 705.7MB 0B (0%) Build Cache 0 0 0B 0B To clean up unused images and containers: root@ofbiz-vm1:/home/danwatford# docker system prune WARNING!

We can confirm that disk space has been reclaimed by checking df again: root@ofbiz-vm1:/home/danwatford# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 97G 30G 68G 31% / So available disk space increased from 21 GB to 68 GB due to the docker clean up process. We should install a cron job to run the clean up automatically. Dan. -- Daniel Watford
