ENOSPC no space left on device -Nodejs

In my case, I got the error 'npm WARN tar ENOSPC: no space left on device' while running the nodeJS in docker, I just used below command to reclaim space.

sudo docker system prune -af

I had the same problem, take a look at the selected answer in the Stackoverflow here:

Node.JS Error: ENOSPC

Here is the command that I used (my OS: LinuxMint 18.3 Sylvia which is a Ubuntu/Debian based Linux system).

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

Just need to clean up the Docker system in order to tackle it. Worked for me.

$ docker system prune
