The docker system in which docker is installed or running can run into dangling state.
To check whats the disk consumption due to Docker
docker system df
Primarily the issues comes up is with low disk space. Of course this is re-claimable.
Cause for Low disk space are
(a) docker images created during build could be in dangling state
or would have been stored or persisted for a longer time.
check >>> docker images
>>> docker images prune // resolves by removing the images which are in dangling state.
(b) docker containers created during build for certain deployments could be in dangling state
or would have been stored or persisted for a longer time.
check >>> docker containers
>>> docker containers prune // resolves by removing the containers which are in dangling state/ or no more used.
(c) docker volumes created during build for storing some data which would have been in needed for all further
deployments could be causing as it can grow.
check >>> docker volume
>>> docker volume prune // resolves by removing the volumes which are in dangling state/ or no more used.
