It is as easy as sudoing your nano at /etc/docker/daemon.json. I checked and for me this file didn’t yet exist. There was another .json file but not daemon.json. Then add the following clause: { “storage-driver”: “aufs”} Or, if you prefer: { “storage-driver”: “overlay2”} Save it and restart docker however you prefer. I use systemctl. If you do a docker info you’ll see that your preferred storage driver is now used. Enjoy the rest of your project.
