I need to create a docker’s image from a virtual box image. The file is 16GB. When I run the command line # tar -c . | docker import - <myImagename>
appear this error below.
P.S. : The container is empty.
Error:
Error response from daemon: Error processing tar file(exit status 1):

The error was resolved using base image from Docker Hub's oficial imagens that I need to install instead of creating by myself an owner base image. This post teached me a lot. I congratulations all to contribuite. I separeted the hint that contribuited to start the solution:
first run
docker image prune
to clean up all dangling imagesif this didn’t help you might need to check this answer

It’s not clear exactly what you’re attempting to do (where is
.
, and is this a local docker engine or are you sending the image to a remote node). And putting a VM image inside of a container image is a significant code smell (containers aren’t a VM).That said, from description, you have a 16GB file you’re trying to package on a system with 1.3G available to docker (assuming you are running docker from /var/lib/docker). There’s just no way that’s going to work under any conditions. Typically you want 2-3x the space available to handle the copies needed to package the layers.
So for your root partition, you’d want to expand that from 14GB to 45GB (13 current + 3×16). Steps to expand the partition depend on your underlying storage and filesystem type, and would be more appropriate for superuser.SE.
