Docker - write no space left on device on /var/lib/docker/tmp

When deploying docker, it is possible to see the following error

 ERROR: write /var/lib/docker/tmp/GetImageBlob123456789: no space left on device

Since the error is prefix at /var/lib/docker, that is probably the docker data directory running out of space and it is default to / mount which may be low in disk space in many cases.

To workaround it, 

1) stop docker

 service docker stop

2) create /etc/docker/daemon.json

3) set the following to a mount that is space at /etc/docker/daemon.json

{ 

   "data-root": "/path/to/your/docker" 

}

4) start docker

service docker start
