Sprite too slow for docker?

[tr11]

I’m suffering high i/o and sprite vm grinds to a halt after I run docker and mysql to test my apps.

8gb vdb gets full quickly and performance quickly degrades.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Can vdb partition be upgraded/increased easily?

Thank you

We started by mounting /var/lib/docker on the local disk, which was not a great plan. Docker fills that up fast and evicts blocks for the big filesystem.

Right now the best way to run docker is to fire up claude and instruct it to this:

1. Don’t use /var/lib/docker, use another path (I use /home/sprite/.docker)
2. Create a sparse disk image and mount it on loopback for Docker overlayfs
3. Otherwise, use /.sprite/docs/docker.md to get it going

You’ll probably want to clear out /var/lib/dockerafter this is working.
