How To
Summary
By default, Docker uses /var/lib/docker as the docker root directory where Docker dumps all image and container data. You can verify what directory your docker uses by typing the following command:
sudo docker info | grep "Docker Root Dir"
Result should be similar to below:
Docker Root Dir: /var/lib/docker
Some users use /mnt which is a mount for external storage. If the user prefers not to use this directory or if the docker data gets deleted due to mount issues and the user wants to use a different directory instead, follow the directions below.
