I recently run out of disk space and following this
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/var-lib-docker-aufs-diff-increasing-in-size/31438/13](https://meta.discourse.org/t/var-lib-docker-aufs-diff-increasing-in-size/31438/13)
my discourse isn’t even starting now… I have no idea what to do now and I need help ASAP
It’s a +2000 users community and I would like to fix it now.
This is the error I get when I try to start:
Unable to find image ‘local\_discourse/app:latest’ locally
Pulling repository [docker.io/local\_discourse/app](http://docker.io/local_discourse/app)
Error: image local\_discourse/app:latest not found

Did you do a rebuild after you cleared up the disk space problem?

Yes I did. The error I posted was shown at the end of the rebuild. I tried rebuilding again, with the same result

Do you mean the whole output of rebuild command? That’s huge

Yes, the whole output. Something is going badly wrong, and the problem could be anywhere in there.

Looks like you’re still low on disk space:
```
Error response from daemon: ... no space left on device
FAILED TO COMMIT
```
What does your disk space look like:
```
administrator@proddiscourse:~$ df -h
administrator@proddiscourse:~# cd /var/discourse/
administrator@proddiscourse:/var/discourse# sudo du -h -d 1 |sort -h -r
```

How? I don’t know what to delete. Almost all disk space is consumed by discourse and docker
