Hi all!
I have a homeassistant installation running for about 5 years by now. I started on a raspberry pi 3 and after some time, I decided to switch to a linux system running haos in a virtualbox enviroment. So far, it worked, but the installation used to grow and from time to time I run into an issue with diskspace. As it reached >140 GB of diskspace I decided to look deeper. I found out, that there exist tons of files in docker/overlay2-folder. And as I am running out of diskspace on my underlying server, I need to free diskspace.
How can I clean that up? And why do I have so many docker container running in this vm?
Thanks for any hints and help!
BR,

Welcome!
A couple resources that might give you some insight and ideas. A bit of a achilles heel with docker is using your boot partition for your docker overlay file systems, if one of your docker containers grows to fill your linux boot partition (long term and run away logs can do this), it can bring down your whole system. Creating a non boot linux partition for your docker file systems can mitigate this. Good hunting!
