Trying to get egroupware in docker running on Archlinux, I’ve tried a couple of config changes with docker compose up -d and docker compose down in between. Trying to learn more about how docker runs the egroupware install I was poking around and found I have nearly 10G of egrouopware in 5 separate trees under /var/lib/docker. For example:

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/13028015c0dec6ee~7e2f5f949c50ac44 ; full egroupware

and

/var/lib/docker/volumes/57df4e463af1561c~7f35440ea3315c63 ; full egroupware
/var/lib/docker/volumes/b74c256b3dd506fe~85128311122766a0 ; full egroupware no collab/rocket
/var/lib/docker/volumes/bb1dbb28470b7110~4bb34f01597341ea ; full egroupware no collab/rocket
/var/lib/docker/volumes/e16f2eb9c983b75b~1b629c7822848d6a ; full egroupware no collab/rocket

All data under /etc/egroupware-docker is automatically removed when the containers are stopped except for the install logs.

Should I be removing the containers, volumes or overlays in between to make sure there isn’t any problem? If so, what is the preferred method to remove them?
