Context
Application runs under Docker.
Docker data (containers, images, volumes, internal logs) is stored in
/var/lib/docker.Application logs are stored in
/var/log/embrace.No other specific storage requirements outside the OS.
- Target systems: RHEL / Rocky Linux / AL2023.
Recommended Partitioning
| Mount Point | Suggested Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
/boot | 1–2 GB | Required for kernel/bootloader files |
/ (root) | 20–30 GB | OS and base packages |
swap | 0.5–1× RAM | Per RHEL guidelines (min 8 GB if RAM ≥16 GB) |
/var/lib/docker | 100–200 GB+ | Main partition to size; depends on number/size of images, containers, volumes |
/var/log | 10–20 GB | Dedicated log space; include /var/log/embrace |
Example layout (200 GB disk)
/boot: 1 GB/: 30 GBswap: 8 GB (if RAM ≥16 GB)/var/lib/docker: 150 GB/var/log: 20 GB
Best Practices
Monitor
/var/lib/dockergrowth; prune unused images/volumes regularly.Monitor
