How to change docker default storage size-CodePudding

I've been having loads of issues with kubectl not having enough space. How can I increase the default storage size allocated to docker?

None of minikube recommendations worked.

1. Run "docker system prune" to remove unused Docker data (optionally with "-a")
2. Increase the storage allocated to Docker for Desktop by clicking on:
   Docker icon > Preferences > Resources > Disk Image Size
3. Run "minikube ssh -- docker system prune" if using the Docker container runtime

And the second is not possible from command line...

I get ImagePullBackOff when I try to deploy nginx on the cluster – Caterina

You can specify minikube's disk allocations separately:

minikube start --memory=8192 --cpus=4 --disk-size=50g

Which can help you to work around the disk space issues as the default is significantly smaller: --disk-size string Disk size allocated to the minikube VM (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or g). (default "20000mb")
