Instruction on how move docker /var/lib/docker directory to another path

Raw

How-move-docker-directory.md

Steps work for me:

Stop all containers docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
Stop docker sudo service docker stop
Copy docker directory cp -r /var/lib/docker/* /home/docker/
Unmount all old docker overlays umount -f /var/lib/docker/overlay/*/* and umount -f /var/lib/docker/containers/*/mounts/shm
Change in/etc/docker/daemon.json graph to new path
```
{
  "graph": "/home/docker/"
}
```
Start docker sudo service docker start
Remove old /var/lib/docker/
