If it is for just one container that you are going to create, then:

docker create -it --storage-opt size=20G ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash



If you want to increase the default base size for your storage driver, then:

dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=20G
  • Be sure to then restart your docker daemon systemctl restart docker and you can do the pull and run you were doing before.
