Expected behavior
It would be great if Docker for Mac stored images on host (on Mac) filesystem. It would solve Docker.qcow2
disk space issues described on forum.
Actual behavior
Docker images are stored inside
~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/Docker.qcow2
Many users run out of space on Docker VM. Deleting all the images from Docker for Mac doesn’t reclaim space on the host (on Mac). Docker.qcow2
stays at it’s historical maximum size (64GB max by default).
