Docker BuildKit Cache Prune Command Hangs While Cache Objects Keep Growing
A developer reports that docker builder prune does not terminate and appears to create new BuildKit cache objects faster than it removes them, eventually filling the system disk. This affects developers relying on Docker BuildKit for image builds and signals a reliability gap in cache lifecycle management tooling.

surfaced semanticallyDocker Overlay2 Storage Balloons to 400GB+ with Airflow-Spawned Containers
An operator running Docker with Airflow (which dynamically spins up many containers via DAGs) found the overlay2 storage driver accumulated 690 folders consuming over 400GB, saturating the server, with no clear built-in way to safely prune the folder. This reflects a common operational gap for teams running dynamic container workloads without a storage-cleanup strategy.
Docker Daemon Networking Errors After Disk-Full Events Lack Explanation
A recurring Docker daemon error about only one connection being allowed appears sporadically, correlated with a prior disk-full event, and there is no clear documentation explaining its cause or resolution. This affects engineers running containerized build pipelines who are left debugging blind against opaque daemon internals.
No Clear Path to Build a Minimal Docker Image for One App in a Bun Turborepo
Developers using Turborepo with Bun workspaces struggle to build a Docker image for a single app without copying the entire monorepo, because bun install fails to resolve workspace dependencies in isolation. Existing guidance like turbo prune --docker is designed around npm/pnpm and is not well documented for Bun.
Docker Desktop Strips Proxy Credentials on Manual Proxy Configuration
Developers behind authenticated corporate proxies find Docker Desktop fails to pull images even after configuring proxy settings via UI, environment variables, and daemon.json — with manual proxy configuration silently stripping the username and password on save. This leaves engineers on proxied networks unable to pull images through any documented configuration path.
GitHub Actions Runners Accumulate as Orphaned Instances When Process Exits Unexpectedly
GitHub Actions self-hosted runners fail to deregister when the runner process exits or crashes, causing orphaned instances to accumulate in Docker environments with restart policies until the runner limit is hit.
