How to increase windows docker container disk space
i am trying to build a windows servercore image with scaled up disk space
when i try
docker run -it --storage-opt size=50G mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 powershell
it does work and scales up the disk space within the container so if i run this command before and after against the same windows servercore container i get different results:
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_LogicalDisk
in the regular windows container ( not scaled up with --storage-opt ) i see that the size is 30GB
in the scaled up container ( scaled up with --storage-opt size=50GB ) i do get 50GB in the disk size
when i try to run
docker commit <WINDOWS_SCALED_UP_CONTAINER> scaled_up_tag
i get an error "windows containers does not support commit"
the best solution for my specific problem is to scale up the windows image disk space using a build line in the Dockerfile
any suggetstions?
docker
containers
docker-for-windows
diskspace
windows-container
