Docker - How to Move Docker to Another Drive on Windows

🔧 How to Move Docker to a Different Drive on Windows | Step-by-Step Guide 🖥️

Welcome to Dino's Tech World! In this video, I'm going to walk you through the process of moving Docker's data storage from your C drive to another drive on your Windows system. By default, Docker installs on the C drive, which can quickly fill up as you add more containers. If you're running low on space, this guide will show you how to relocate Docker's data to free up your C drive.

🔹 Video Highlights:

1. Understanding Docker and WSL: Docker on Windows uses the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run containers. I'll explain how Docker's data is managed within WSL and why it's important to move it to another drive.
2. Checking Running Subsystems: Learn how to check which subsystems are running in WSL using the wsl -l -v command and identify Docker Desktop and Docker Desktop Data.
3. Stopping Docker and WSL: Before moving anything, I'll show you how to safely shut down Docker Desktop and WSL to avoid data corruption.
4. Exporting Docker Data:
   • Use the wsl --export command to create a backup of your Docker Desktop Data.
   • Save the backup as a tar file in a directory on the drive you want to move it to (e.g., D:\Docker-Data).
5. Unregistering and Importing Docker Data:
   • Unregister the old Docker Desktop Data from WSL with the wsl --unregister command.
   • Import the saved data into the new directory using the wsl --import command.
6. Restarting Docker and WSL: After the data move, I'll guide you through restarting Docker Desktop and ensuring everything is running smoothly.
7. Setting Default Subsystems: If needed, I'll show you how to reset the default subsystem to Docker Desktop or another WSL instance.

This guide is perfect for anyone looking to manage their Docker installation more effectively, especially if you're dealing with limited space on your C drive.
