Location of docker images downloaded by Docker (1.9.1) on Mac OS X

Question

Where are the docker images located once they are downloaded from docker hub in Mac OSX. For example if I run a command like:

docker run hello-world
<         


        

Answer 1

In my case (Mavericks / docker brew installed / Image name: default) is located under

/Users//.docker/machine/machines/.

(You gotta use terminal and not finder to see it. )

   ls -lah /Users/Mitsos/.docker/machine/machines/
    total 0
