[Mesa-users] MESA installation data folder

Sat Mar 31 19:30:06 EDT 2018

Hi Amber,

Yes, the docker container is upgraded to the newest version, and I definitely noticed a size increase. These tricks that I’ve learned from Rob help keep the size somewhat under control, but the fully installed and uncompressed docker image is still 13 GB for 10398. Happily, Docker automatically compresses things when I upload, so the total size of the download is only 4 GB. 

Cheers,
Evan
