Hello,
My server is running low on disk space and I think it is it is because of some Docker images.
How can I find the directory where the Docker images are stored at on the host/server itself?
Thanks!

Hi there,
By default they will be stored in the /var/lib/docker/driver_name directory. The driver_name directory would depend on the driver that you are using.
What I usually would do is to always use the following command to verify the data directory:
docker info | grep -i 'Data file'
I would also recommend taking a look at the following two answers for more information:
- How to move the default /var/lib/docker to another directory for Docker on Linux?
- How to check the disk usage of all running Docker containers?
- Where Docker Images Are Stored on Your Host Machine
Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby
