Where did my Docker image come from?
The heaviest contents are usually images. If you use the default storage driver overlay2, then your Docker images are stored in /var/lib/docker/overlay2 . There, you can find different files that represent read-only layers of a Docker image and a layer on top of it that contains your changes.
How do I identify a docker image?
The easiest way to list Docker images is to use the “docker images” with no arguments. When using this command, you will be presented with the complete list of Docker images on your system. Alternatively, you can use the “docker image” command with the “ls” argument.
Can you trust Docker images?
You use the Docker Engine to push and pull images (data) to a public or private registry. Content trust gives you the ability to verify both the integrity and the publisher of all the data received from a registry over any channel.

Can we create Dockerfile from docker image?
You can build a docker file from an image, but it will not contain everything you would want to fully understand how the image was generated. Reasonably what you can extract is the MAINTAINER, ENV, EXPOSE, VOLUME, WORKDIR, ENTRYPOINT, CMD, and ONBUILD parts of the dockerfile.
Where are Docker images located?

Docker Registry. A Docker Registry is where Docker Images can be stored, and eventually accessed by BaseSpace on a user’s behalf when running an app. Using the docker push command, you can send your docker image to the Registry to be stored and saved. A Docker Image is stored within a Repository in the Docker Registry.
What is Docker image format?
A Docker image is a file, comprised of multiple layers, used to execute code in a Docker container. An image is essentially built from the instructions for a complete and executable version of an application, which relies on the host OS kernel. When the Docker user runs an image, it becomes one or multiple instances of that container.
What is a docker build?
Docker build is the Docker engine command that consumes a Dockerfile and triggers the image creation process. This topic will show you how to use Dockerfiles with Windows containers, understand their basic syntax, and what the most common Dockerfile instructions are.
