I was trying to spin up a postgres container and ran into this error:

write /var/lib/docker/tmp/GetImageBlob4095875670: no space left on device

Googling/ChatGPTing, gave suggestions to use prune. If Docker is using too much space, the solution might be to clean up unused Docker images, containers, volumes, or networks.

Remove unused Docker images#

docker image prune -a

Remove stopped containers#

docker container prune

Remove unused volumes#

docker volume prune

Remove unused networks#

docker network prune
