Go to Settings --> Docker, then disable docker and toggle the "Basic View" switch to "Advanced View". You should see a setting for vdisk size and you can make it larger there.

Thank you for the quick reply, gonna do that.

Unless you have maaaaany dockers running this is likely the symptom of one (or more) misconfigured containers that ends up either writing error messages to log, or storing files in the vdisk

If after increasing the size this still happens, I'd check configs

Thank you for the help, I don't have that many, how can I check if files are being stored in the Vdisk?

I'm at 61% with 19 dockers. I think it's the binhex images. They seem to be larger than the others.

I had this issue when I attempted to run an emulator docker. It consumed everything, the solution was to get rid of it because I didn’t have time to troubleshoot why it wasn’t closing out sessions to it.

Docker files shouldn’t be super huge unless you you are running a ton of them or a process isn’t cleaning up after itself.

Be cautious how big you make your docker file you can’t easily shrink it. You should in the advanced view see how much space each docker is taking and that’ll help you find the problem.

I would like to add into this one that the addition of some of the new AI containers have brought us to a point where increasing the size of the docker image is now a thing to do. I have mine on a twin ssd cache and it screams. well worth it. I upped mine to 60Gig
