Iām in the process of planning disk partitions.
am I right in assuming all the docker stuff that takes up disk space is in `/var/lib/docker`
presently `/var/lib/docker` is taking about 5gb
could I create a mount to manage disk space ?
```
pbody # docker image ls --all

pbody # du -sh discourse/

pbody # cd /var/lib/

```

Docker images and container root filesystems are in `/var/lib/docker`. All persistent data (logs, database, uploaded images, etc) will be in `/var/discourse`.
