Dive is a Go-based CLI/TUI tool for exploring Docker and OCI image layers, showing each layer's file contents and changes. It estimates image efficiency (wasted space) and can run in CI to fail builds with excessive image bloat.

Use cases

  • explore contents of each layer in a docker image
  • find wasted space and duplicated files in docker images
  • shrink docker image size
  • analyze image layers after building
  • enforce image size checks in CI pipeline
  • inspect which files changed between image layers

When to choose

  • you want a terminal UI to browse docker/OCI image layers and file trees
  • you need to optimize image size by spotting redundant layers or files
  • you want automated image-efficiency pass/fail checks in CI

When to avoid

  • you need vulnerability/CVE scanning rather than size analysis
  • you need a GUI-based image explorer
  • you work with non-Docker/non-OCI container image formats
