View docker image file content with folder structure

Hi folks,

I have come across a scenario where I need to see the image contents.

Yes, I want to view the image content with hierarchy.

Then I found this dive, which has done it beautifully.

Install on Ubuntu PC


  1. # wget https://github.com/wagoodman/dive/releases/download/v0.9.2/dive_0.9.2_linux_amd64.deb
  2. # sudo apt install ./dive_0.9.2_linux_amd64.deb

Usage


  • Get the docker images list
    • # docker image list
  • Choose the image which you want to explore by copying the "Repository" name
  • Run the command
    • # dive
  • It takes some time to analyse and display the image contents in hierarchical manner.
  • Of the left side, it will have the image layers
  • Select the appropriate image layer with up/down arrow keys
  • By pressing the "Tab" you will be able to switch to right side view where your files are available
  • Use space to expand/collapse the folder
  • Dive will display each folder size
  • See the sample docker image contents with dive below




  • To quit/exit from the dive, use Ctrl+C


Hope this is helpful
