|
When antivirus software scans files used by Docker, these files may be locked
|
|
in a way that causes Docker commands to hang.
|
|
|
|
One way to reduce these problems is to add the Docker data directory
|
|
(`/var/lib/docker` on Linux or `$Env:ProgramData` on Windows Server) to the
|
|
antivirus's exclusion list. However, this comes with the trade-off that viruses
|
|
or malware in Docker images, writable layers of containers, or volumes are not
|
|
detected. If you do choose to exclude Docker's data directory from background
|
|
virus scanning, you may want to schedule a recurring task that stops Docker,
|
|
scans the data directory, and restarts Docker. |
