# Motivation: As the "/var" partition (Linux Debian) could have a limited size | |
# and "docker" by default set volumes and images inside of "/var/lib" the partition | |
# could run out ouf space soon. | |
# | |
# My approach is to modify the "data-root" argument from the docker daemon, and move | |
# all the data into a partition with more free space ("home" in my case). | |
