When you try to run the "docker run" command and if you see the following error messages
"No space left on device"
This generally happens when the volume for your Docker engine is full.

→ docker run <image> bash
Error: [Errno 28] No space left on device
cp: error writing ‘/home/dirmngr.conf’: No space left on device
cp: failed to extend ‘/home/dirmngr.conf’: No space left on device
There are several steps that can be taken to free up some space from the volume.
A quick solution is to run the following docker command to remove old docker containers.

→ docker rm `docker ps --no-trunc -aq`

Another solution, to free up significant space is to run the docker system prune command. This command prunes images, containers, and networks but it never prunes/delete the volumes associated with the docker container
2022-03-21 15:14:45 ⌚ azhekhan-mac in ~/OS
→ docker system prune --all
- all stopped containers
- all networks not used by at least one container
- all dangling images
- all dangling build cache
