HA Installation in Virtual Box - No space left on disk

Installation
1

Hi,

I installed HAOS in a Virtual Box on MACOS Intel chip. Looking at the Observer everything is fine but starting the Config on :8123 I receive the following error:
2026-01-09 08:54:50.531 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.docker.manager] No space left on disk
2026-01-09 08:54:50.532 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.jobs] Removing incomplete job Pulling container image layer from job manager

As I run the update option directly on the VM and it is fine (HAOS 16.3 → No Update available) I would like to skip the download part in :8123 - How can I do that?
Harddisk size changed to 70GB and RAM 3 GB

Best regards
Henning

Check what uses all the space like this. Also share this.

I did not really get a good access to the data. I could only do a screenshot and the biggest chunk is in mnt but there seem to be no subdirectories.

Can you provide the information requested in the second link?
And execute the following command on cli?

fdisk -l

It will show the disks known to the system + their size

Sorry for letting you wait. The ‘_my_redirect/storage’ was not found and I cannot add the ‘_my’ extension.

how did you setup?

AFAICT the virtual HD image didn’t expand during setup, you’re using only a part of your 70 GB (see fdisk -l output)

just tested on my VB

you have to resize the vdi before booting for the firtst time

Thank you for the quick reply. But I already booted, so what is the solution to fix it? Should be possible to switch the virtual machine off, change parameters and reboot again.

The setup is:

  • Virtual box
  • Oracle Linux
  • select the HA vdi as virtual hard disk
  • First boot
    → Did not boot correctly
    → changing Network to Bridge
    → Adding the ‘Discard’ option to release unused space
  • Reboot again
  • HA is starting
  • Installation Screen appeared - but error thrown in the details

Of you haven’t configured HA yet, simply start over. Throw this VM away and create a new one.

Otherwise you’ll have to open the CLI of the VM and expand the disks with Linux commands
First option is easiest.
