Docker update not working due to space requirements?

Installation
1

Hey folks,

I am running the official docker setup. So far so gut.

I was always able to update everything from the web interface.
I am on 2.9.0.beta1 and 2.9.0.beta2 is available.
Suddenly I see this:

You are running an old version of the Discourse image.
Upgrades via the web UI are disabled until you run the latest image.


To do so log in to your server using SSH and run:

        cd /var/discourse
        git pull
        ./launcher rebuild app
    
More info on our support site

No problem I think, but when execute the ./launcher rebound app command but nothing happens afterwards:

root@test:~# cd /var/discourse/
root@test:/var/discourse# git pull

You have less than 5GB of free space on the disk where /var/lib/docker is located. You will need more space to continue
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        19G   14G  4.7G  74% /

Would you like to attempt to recover space by cleaning docker images and containers in the system? (y/N)y

If the cleanup was successful, you may try again now
root@test:/var/discourse# 
root@test:/var/discourse# docker ps

How much space do I need in order to update?

root@test:/var/discourse# df -h

I have more than 5GB available but it does not work.

Run ./launcher cleanup and then try again

3

I did that already.
Nothing to clean up left.
Also cleaned up journal logs which were 1-2 GB.

4

Did you rebuild after it did the cleanup?

You might try deleting a backup or two.

5

Those backups are just ~ 10 MB. But I could clean up some more logs in journal.

Got it working.
The 5GB space requirement is AFTER pulling and extracting the images.
I guess I need to add more storage to that server.
