我使用了“docker system prune -a”，它清洗了卷和overlay2下的所有文件

    [root@jasontest volumes]# docker system prune -a

我也有同样的问题，在我的实例中，这是因为' var/lib/docker '目录被挂载到一个运行的容器(在我的情况下谷歌/cadvisor)，因此它阻止了docker修剪清理文件夹。停止容器，运行docker prune -然后重新运行容器解决了问题。

不要在生产环境中这样做

@ravi-luthra给出的答案在技术上是有效的，但它有一些问题!

在我的例子中，我只是试图恢复磁盘空间。lib/docker/overlay文件夹占用了30GB的空间，我只定期运行几个容器。看起来docker有一些数据泄漏的问题，一些临时数据在容器停止时没有被清除。

所以我删除了lib/docker/overlay文件夹的所有内容。在那之后，我的docker实例变得不可用。当我试图运行或构建任何容器时，它给了我这个错误:

failed to create rwlayer: symlink ../04578d9f8e428b693174c6eb9a80111c907724cc22129761ce14a4c8cb4f1d7c/diff /var/lib/docker/overlay2/l/C3F33OLORAASNIYB3ZDATH2HJ7: no such file or directory

经过反复试验，我通过跑步解决了这个问题

(警告:这将删除docker卷内的所有数据)

docker system prune --volumes -a

所以不建议做这样的脏清理，除非你完全了解系统是如何工作的。

基于Mert Mertce的回答，我编写了以下脚本，包括旋转器和进度条。

然而，自从写了脚本之后，我注意到我们构建服务器上的额外目录是暂时的——也就是说，Docker似乎正在清理，尽管速度很慢。我不知道如果存在删除目录的竞争，Docker是否会感到不安。我们目前的解决方案是使用documentum，但是有很多额外的开销(150+GB)。

朋友们，为了保持一切清洁，你可以使用命令:

docker system prune -a && docker volume prune

我有这样的问题…那是一根巨大的木头。日志如下:

/var/lib/docker/containers/<container id>/<container id>-json.log

您可以在运行命令行或撰写文件中进行管理。参见:配置日志记录驱动程序

我个人将这3行添加到我的docker-compose中。Yml文件:

my_container:
  logging:
    options:
      max-size: 10m
