How to change the docker image installation directory?

by

With recent versions of Docker, you would set the value of the data-root parameter to your custom path, in /etc/docker/daemon.json
(according to https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-configuration-file).

With older versions, you can change Docker’s storage base directory (where container and images go) using the -goption when starting the Docker daemon. (check docker --help).
You can have this setting applied automatically when Docker starts by adding it to /etc/default/docker
