Docker Post<\/p>\n
On recent Docker release, you might be surprised that the tree view no longer works as expected:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ docker images --tree\r\n<\/pre>\nThe above command would produce a visual dump of the images inside the container. The command generated a hierarchy of the images, showing the relationship between parent and children. However, this command has been dropped since Docker version 1.6. So what do you do?<\/p>\n
You can use the custom document plugin images, DockViz from JustOne<\/a> of Github (https:\/\/github.com\/justone\/dockviz<\/a>).<\/p>\n
The simplest way is start up the docker image and login as a Bash user. Upgrade yourself to root superuser and then launch the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ alias dockviz="docker run -it --rm -v \/var\/run\/docker.sock:\/var\/run\/docker.sock nate\/dockviz"\r\n<\/pre>\nNow execute the alias:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ docker dataviz -t\r\n<\/pre>\nThis command downloads the DockViz image then executes Docker API using the protocol, obviously over the named UNIX socket. The result is a hierarchy tree of the images in your container, very similarly to “docker images -t”<\/p>\n
If you have trouble getting access to \/var\/run\/docker.sock even as “root” superuser. Try the following by adding the –privileged flag to the alias command. Run the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ alias dockviz="docker run -it --privileged --rm -v \/var\/run\/docker.sock:\/var\/run\/docker.sock nate\/dockviz"\r\n<\/pre>\nMy final tip is add the “alias” to the login script for the superuser. Here is the command for that:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ echo 'alias dockviz="docker run -it --rm -v \/var\/run\/docker.sock:\/var\/run\/docker.sock nate\/dockviz"' > ~\/.bash_profile\r\n<\/pre>\n
