Docker ERROR: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF

Question

I needed space and executed: docker rmi $(docker images -f \"dangling=true\" -q)

Since then I can\'t with docker-compose: docker-compose build

Answer 1

For me the issue turned out that a Docker Pull was hung, so I CTRL+C'd out of it and tried again. Same error message.

In the end I found some files owned by root in this directory. Giving the files proper permissions fixed the issue.

chown -R : /var/lib/docker/tmp
