Expected behavior The Docker app should minimally the file location of images pulled, and in a normal case allow that location to be set. Actual behavior I cannot find any information on this for the Docker for Windows Beta Information PS> docker version Client: Version: 1.11.0 API version…

There is still a confusion lingering in my mind. When I create a new image using docker build, I get the last line of the log as Successfully built a854b5869839. However when I look for images in C:\ProgramData\docker\windowsfilter or C:\ProgramData\docker\containers I do not find any folder wit…

Thanks :grin: how about C:\ProgramData\Docker? What is Docker doing with it? In particular, if it will grow big, how can I move it away from C:? :confused:

I am new with docker an also have this problem. I just want to share my solution. Before installing docker just change the location of the Virtual Hard Disk from the Hyper-V settings. Then by default docker will install there. [image]

Hi All the hyperv configuration is not related to windows containers, right? Like alexfung says, looks like all data is stored in C:\ProgramData\Docker I need to download images and create containers in other drive than c too!! Any information will be nice!!

Create file called c:\programdata\docker\config\daemon.json with content below where e:\images is location where do you want to store all you images etc. restart docker. { "graph": "e:\\images" }

I added the data as you sugested, after restarting the docker service and try to view the existing images I got the following error c:\desarrollo>docker images error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.27/images/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the…

I found it! I need to edit the settings inside the UI (I’m using windows containers), Docker will auto restart [image] After restart, using docker info I can see Docker Root Dir: D:\vm\docker

Docker on Windows: I would like to store images on 1 iSCSI volume and store containers a different iSCSI volume. Can you use “graph” multiple times in the daemon.json config file to tell Docker that images are on 1 volume and containers are on a 2nd ( different ) volume? ex. “graph”: “I:\images” …

No, you cannot - images and containers are the same thing. A container is an image with a writable layer on top (and other things too). Details here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/imagesandcontainers/

Updating my settings via the UI to include: { "graph": "..." } to set a custom location causes Docker to not restart properly. Looking into the logs it looks like the Docker daemon is not starting properly: [12:38:03.428][DockerDaemonChecker][Error ] Docker daemon is not running Anyone else c…

Where are images stored?

I think that should be “data-root”: “d:\\docker”
