Is there any why to browse a docker image using ssh or equivalent? My motivation is to compare two docker images using beyond compare
edit: i am not interested in just listing file names, I need the content and I would like to be able compare two images, including content of the files.
If what you want is exploring a docker image then you can use a tool named dive.
You cannot directly compare files content but at least you can browse layer contents and see which files have been added/removed/modified/unmodified.
To analyze a Docker image simply run:
dive <your_image>
You might do something like docker image history <your image name here>
This will give you the history of how the image is build and you could compare it to another image...
or docker inspect <your image name here>
