If it's memory or storage issue please let me know how to increase memory. I'm using windows 7.

Answer 1

Start by doing some cleaning of the unused/stopped images and containers.

$ docker ps -a
$ docker images -a
$ docker container prune
$ docker image prune

You may also log in to boot2docker and inspect filesystem usage:

> boot2docker ssh
$ df -kh

Additionally you may consider increasing boot2docker's volume size, although I didn't find it in live documentation (just this md).
