Change default storage location of docker containers on Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10

Posted on April 2, 2019 by SoCRaT

This was tested on Docker version 18.09.4, build d14af54266, it includes ALL docker data.

Just edit/create a file inside /etc/docker named daemon.json and add the following:

{
  "data-root": "/new_location"
}

then simply restart docker:

sudo service docker restart
