Apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk fails

Question

When installing openjdk-8-jdk through apt on DockerFile and Linux node running with Jenkins I get the following message:

The command apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk returned a non-zero code: 100.

Full log:

What can I do to solve this issue?

Answer 1

You don't have space left on device. Clear space and try again

Answer 2

The best solution I found to this problem was to clear the space after every build. Clearing the space on the device manually with docker system prune wasn't the perfect solution since after some builds you had to keep cleaning it.

pipeline {
    stages {
        stage ('start') {
            ...
        }
     }

     post {
        always {
            sh "docker system prune -f"
        }
     }
}
