That's the virtual disk image for Docker Desktop's VM. The way Docker Desktop works (on every platform) is, it runs a Linux virtual machine, and the Docker engine runs in the VM. Which allows them to have it work identically whether your host machine is Windows, OS X, or Linux. All the images that show up when you run docker image ls
, and the storage used for volumes, are all stored in that virtual disk image.
If you go to the Docker Desktop settings and choose the Resources tab, you'll see sliders you can use to adjust the maximum size of the virtual machine's disk, and under that there's a control to choose the disk image location. Mine is at $HOME/.docker/desktop/vms/0/data
, and since I didn't change that from the default settings, I assume yours is too. If you have multiple partitions, then you might want to move that file to another partition. Do so using that control in the settings, and Docker Desktop should continue to work normally. Don't use mv
to move the file, though, because then Docker Desktop won't know where you moved it to and will continue to look for it on the old location.
