Raw
How-move-docker-directory.md

Steps work for me:

  1. Stop all containers docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

  2. Stop docker sudo service docker stop

  3. Copy docker directory cp -r /var/lib/docker/* /home/docker/

  4. Unmount all old docker overlays umount -f /var/lib/docker/overlay/*/* and umount -f /var/lib/docker/containers/*/mounts/shm

  5. Change in/etc/docker/daemon.json graph to new path

    {
  "graph": "/home/docker/"
}

  6. Start docker sudo service docker start

  7. Remove old /var/lib/docker/
