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

Try increasing the memory for Docker, it fixed the issue for me.

Docker memory setting in Preferences was set to 2GB, so when pulling the ~3GB image, I was getting exactly this error:

$ docker pull skymindops/skil-ce
latest: Pulling from skymindops/skil-ce
118c5f2883d6: Pull complete 
3d199b2e6224: Extracting [==================================================>]  2.902GB/2.902GB
failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF

Increasing the memory limit fixed it (I also increased the swap, but unsure was it required or not).
