docker compose error

Answer 1

The problem with docker container's is that it takes alot of memory space within or system so if you don't have enough memory space docker will throw an exception about no space left.

You should always use sudo docker system prune command to avoid those errors, Before building any new image don't forget to use this command;

This command will remove all images, containers & volumes from your system.

Don't forget to use sudo docker system prune
