Inspect Docker layer

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in DevOps Tools

In this post , I will share one of the ways showing how to know what is the size of the image plus the layer of the image

To do that follow the steps

  • Create Linux variable one for the layer the other one for the size with the following 
export showLayers='{{ range .RootFS.Layers }}{{ println . }}{{end}}'


export showSize='{{ .Size }}'
  • Check The size like the below 
docker inspect -f "$showSize" <Container-name:tag>
  • Check the Layer like the below
docker inspect -f "$showLayers" <Container-name>
