if this check fails, it tells user to visit https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/build-tools-container#step-4-expand-maximum-container-disk-size. However, if you navigate to that page, it doesn't say anything about expanding container size.

For the reference, in order to actually modify max container size you need to:

  1. Open C:\ProgramData\Docker\config\daemon.json
  2. Add "storage-opts": [ "size=400GB" ]
  3. Restart Docker daemon

Another thought: possibly ue4-docker could just pass --storage-opt size=400G when running docker so user doesn't need to do any manual configuration?

Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I've just fixed that now. The replacement link is the one I use in the ue4-docker documentation, although annoyingly it doesn't have nice step-by-step instructions like the old page did.

Unfortunately the docker build command does not support the --storage-opt flag (as discussed here: moby/moby#34947), otherwise I would definitely pass it through ue4-docker to save users needing to perform the extra setup step!
