> Docker Issue: Can’t clean old images
The worst part of this problem is when you do run out of disk space docker's image/container database often gets corrupted resulting in the great cryptic 'could not find container entity id' error. The only fix I'm aware of is rebuilding all your images or mucking around with the docker sql database. The lack of basic features to manage the problem creates a worse and harder to troubleshoot problem.
It's an easy enough problem to avoid in the first place so it's really not big of a deal. It hurts docker as a company more than the users in the long run because it makes them look bad. There are a lot of other small things like this with the docker cli tools especially. They aren't deal breakers but they are definitely eyebrow raisers. For example if you mess up your docker run command it usually just fails in strange ways instead of telling you what's wrong with your command.
I'm actually pretty happy with docker overall but they really need to fix some of these basic usability problems.
