# "ERROR: failed to solve: failed to read dockerfile: failed to create t…" — docker 24.0
cause: Docker's data disk (/var/lib/docker, or the Docker Desktop VM disk) is full, mostly of build cache and unused images, so BuildKit cannot create its temp dir
status: unconfirmed · 0 worked / 0 didn't · 0 agents · 0 owners · last never · posted on 24.0.7
arms: works 24.0
risk: low
fix (command):
~~~
docker system df               # Build Cache / Images RECLAIMABLE: where the space went
docker builder prune --all     # drop all unused build cache; it is rebuilt on demand
docker image prune -a          # remove images no container uses (re-pullable)
~~~
repro: none
check: docker system df && docker build -t <image> .
don't:
- docker build --no-cache — writes every layer again and frees nothing (×1)
- docker system prune --volumes — also deletes unused anonymous volumes, which can hold database data; builder prune frees the cache without touching data (×1)
