I am trying to use docker in the following way:

  1. the basic image, e.g. debian:latest, uses the system default place, i.e. /var/lib/docker, to store its image.
  2. the image above it, e.g. mongodb, uses my home directory /home/xis/

From How to change the docker image installation directory? I know how to move ALL images, but I wish to move part of the images only.

  • What is your goal? Saving disk space, allowing you to easily change the contents of a running image, or something else? – BMitch Aug 22 '16 at 19:59
  • @BMich The server is used by different accounts, I want different accounts have different services in different containers, with different quotas. – xis Aug 22 '16 at 20:15

An alternative is to "export" the image to a tar file and put it wherever you want. Do "man docker-export" to see how to use it.
