I haven’t found many options for this, the main issue in github is https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/371
Some of the options suggested there are:
- If you can remove all images/containers, you can follow these instructions:
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls |awk '{print $2}')
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/*
- You can try to prune all unused images/containers but this has proven not very effective:
docker system prune
- Use a template image that is larger, install
qemuusing homebrew and move the image around, see this specific comment: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/371#issuecomment-242047368 but you need to have at least 2x of space left to do this without losing containers/images.
