Start docker for mac It seemed to work on my side.rm ~/Library/Containers//Data/64-linux/Docker.qcow2.I found it easier to follow these instructions: Note that this will delete your containers: In my case, I think I did migrate from docker-toolbox back in the days which locked by database to ~17G. How does one increase this disk space? Daniel's answer is right but I found an easier solution. Suppose I am running out of space and I want to store more images.Is it a virtual image disk somewhere on my mac? If so, where? What is not clear to me is the following: dev/sda1 62.7G 5.6G 54.0G 9% /var/lib/docker/overlay2 I had a few builds failing for 'no space left on device' so I suspect this is where all images end up going. It says I have a /dev/sda1 mounted on /var/lib/docker/overlay2 with 64 GB of disk space. I installed Docker 1.13 on macOS 10.10, logged in the docker 'machine' with screen ~/Library/Containers//Data/64-linux/tty And did a df -h.
