I want to use docker to run a couple of dockerized 'apps/services' from time to time on my laptop running ubuntu 18.04. I have a boot partition with 100 gb (50gb occupied) and a 900 gb home folder setup via fstab and ext4.
I installed docker using
sudo apt install docker.io
And spun up a container using the standard command. But things escalated quickly as my workload involves tons of image data and I ran out of space on my boot partition very fast. My question is:
How to setup docker, so that it only uses the minimal space on the boot partition and preferably keeps all containers, app data, temp files, etc in a specific folder in the home directory, e.g. 'home/user/data/docker'?
Bonus question: Is there a good docker management GUI application? I like the way I can setup docker containers on openmediavault, but its not an option here.
