It seems that Docker can fail to start if there is no space left on the
device. Try to free up some space in that case by asking journald to
limit its size to 256MiB.
This should work for any storage larger than ~2.5GiB (as the journals
maximum size is 10% of the disk size). It still should leave enough
logs to diagnose problems if necessary.
Note: We could also limit the size of the journal in first place, but
that isn't sustainable: Once that space is used up, we run into the
same problem again.
By only asking journalctl to free up if necessary, we kinda (miss)use
the journal as way to "reserve" some space which we can free up at boot
if necessary.
