I'm doing a test run using docker in an unpriviledged lxc (I know, and it will eventually be moved to my production VM). All is working fine and I have a few images (portainer, traefik), but when I try to deploy something larger (e.g. paperless) I'm finding an error that there is no space left on device despite having more than enough.

Error code: write /var/lib/docker/tmp/GetImageBlob1898286929: no space left on device

However, if I run df -h:

Code:
root@docker-internal:~# df -h

This is the actual space used on /var
Code:
root@docker-internal:/var# du -h -d1 -x /var
12K     /var/tmp
1.1G    /var/lib
748K    /var/spool
344K    /var/backups
237M    /var/cache
4.0K    /var/mail
19M     /var/log
4.0K    /var/data
4.0K    /var/opt
4.0K    /var/local
1.3G    /var

This is my lxc conf:

Code:
arch: amd64
cores: 2
features: fuse=1,keyctl=1,nesting=1
hostname: docker-internal
memory: 4096
mp0: /virtualization_hosts/docker_data,mp=/docker
mp1: /mnt/pve/paperless,mp=/paperless-storage,replicate=0
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=32:D2:40:13:7C:16,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: debian
rootfs: local:501/vm-501-disk-0.raw,size=4G
swap: 512
tags: proxmox-helper-scripts
unprivileged: 1
lxc.idmap: u 0 0 1
lxc.idmap: u 1 100000 65535
lxc.idmap: g 0 0 1
lxc.idmap: g 1 100000 65535

Any ideas?
 
I solved it resizing the root partition. I thought that having 62% used was enough.

Thanks!
