CentOS 7 : docker in docker: "Error: No space left on device" - docker

Question

I been tackling trying to get docker-in-docker working for a CentOS 7 image, with ubuntu as the host image.
As of now i have not started building this as a docker image. And is currently experimenting with bash on how to "get docker in docker to work"
Currently systemctl start docker ran inside the inner docker image CentOS gives the following error
Error: No space left on device
Job for docker.service failed. See 'systemctl status docker.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
Further investigation on the error systemctl status docker gives the following

If it is a no space left problem you can configure docker to have it store images and containers elsewhere.
Since you are using systemctl the config file is located here:
/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
You can add a -g option to change where docker store things.
For example:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -g /there_is_space_here -H fd://
