Where are Docker images stored on the host machine?

Question

I managed to find the containers under directory /var/lib/docker/containers, but I can\'t find the images.

What are the directories and files under

Answer 1

On Fedora, Docker uses LVM for storage if available. On my system docker info shows:

Storage Driver: devicemapper
 Pool Name: vg01-docker--pool
 Pool Blocksize: 524.3 kB
 Base Device Size: 10.74 GB
 Backing Filesystem: xfs
 Data file:
 Metadata file:
 Data Space Used: 9.622 GB
 ...

In that case, to increase storage, you will have to use LVM command line tools or compatible partition managers like blivet.
