A tool for exploring a docker image, layer contents, and discovering ways to shrink your Docker image size.
To analyze a Docker image simply run dive with an image tag/id/digest:
dive <your-image-tag>or if you want to build your image then jump straight into analyzing it:
dive build -t <some-tag> .This is beta quality! Feel free to submit an issue if you want a new feature or find a bug :)
Show Docker image contents broken down by layer
As you select a layer on the left, you are shown the contents of that layer combined with all previous layers on the right. Also, you can fully explore the file tree with the arrow keys.
Indicate what's changed in each layer
Files that have changed, been modified, added, or removed are indicated in the file tree. This can be adjusted to show changes for a specific layer, or aggregated changes up to this layer.
Estimate "image efficiency"
The lower left pane shows basic layer info and an experimental metric that will guess how much wasted space your image contains. This might be from duplicating files across layers, moving files across layers, or not fully removing files. Both a percentage "score" and total wasted file space is provided.
Quick build/analysis cycles
You can build a Docker image and do an immediate analysis with one command: dive build -t some-tag .
You only need to replace your docker build command with the same dive build command.

Go tools
go get github.com/wagoodman/diveDocker
docker pull wagoodman/diveor
docker pull quay.io/wagoodman/diveWhen running you'll need to include the docker client binary and socket file:
docker run --rm -it \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v $(which docker):/bin/docker \ wagoodman/dive:latest <dive arguments...>For docker in windows (does not support pulling images yet):
docker run --rm -it -v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock wagoodman/dive:latest <dive arguments...>| Key Binding | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + C | Exit |
| Tab or Ctrl + Space | Switch between the layer and filetree views |
| Ctrl + F | Filter files |
| Ctrl + A | Layer view: see aggregated image modifications |
| Ctrl + L | Layer view: see current layer modifications |
| Space | Filetree view: collapse/uncollapse a directory |
| Ctrl + A | Filetree view: show/hide added files |
| Ctrl + R | Filetree view: show/hide removed files |
| Ctrl + M | Filetree view: show/hide modified files |
| Ctrl + U | Filetree view: show/hide unmodified files |
| PageUp | Filetree view: scroll up a page |
| PageDown | Filetree view: scroll down a page |
No configuration is necessary, however, you can create a config file and override values:
