docker: how to show the diffs between 2 images

I have a Dockerfile with a sequence of RUN instructions that execute \"apt-get install\"s; for example, a couple of lines:

RUN apt-get install -y tree
RUN apt-ge

    I suppose you could send both images' file systems to tarballs via docker export CONTAINER_ID or docker save IMAGE_ID (updated based on comments)

    Then use whatever tool you like to diff the file systems - Git, Rdiff, etc.

    It is now 2019 and I just found a useful tool which was released in late 2017. https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/11/container-diff-for-comparing-container-images.html

    The following content is from container-diff github page:

    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=history  [History]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=file  [File System]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=size  [Size]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=rpm  [RPM]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=pip  [Pip]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=apt  [Apt]
    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=node  [Node]
    

    You can similarly run many analyzers at once:

    container-diff diff <img1> <img2> --type=history --type=apt --type=node

    This one worked for me:

    docker run -it e5cba87ecd29 bash -c 'find /path/to/files -type f | sort  | xargs -I{} sha512sum {}' > /tmp/dockerfiles.e5cba87ecd29.txt
    docker run -it b1d19fe1a941 bash -c 'find /path/to/files -type f | sort  | xargs -I{} sha512sum {}' > /tmp/dockerfiles.b1d19fe1a941.txt
    meld /tmp/dockerfiles*
    

    Where e5cba87ecd29 and b1d19fe1a941 are images I am interested in and /path/to/files is a directory which could be "/". It lists all files, sorts it and add hash to it just in case. And meld highlights all the differences.

    Have a look at :

    https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-diff

    This tool can diff local or remote docker images and can do so without requiring docker to be installed. It has file as well as package level "differs" (for example: apt, npm, and pip) so that you can more easily see the differences in packages that have changed between two docker images.

    If you know container ID or name (even stopped container), you can quickly dump file list on-the-fly.

    $ docker export CONTAIN_ID_OR_NAME | tar tv
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0  2  6 21:22 .dockerenv
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0  2  6 21:22 .dockerinit
    drwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0 10 21 13:46 bin/
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0     1021112 10  8  2014 bin/bash
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0       31152 10 21  2013 bin/bunzip2
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0 10 21  2013 bin/bzcat link to bin/bunzip2
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 10 21  2013 bin/bzcmp -> bzdiff
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0        2140 10 21  2013 bin/bzdiff
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 10 21  2013 bin/bzegrep -> bzgrep
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0        4877 10 21  2013 bin/bzexe
    ......
    

    Then you can save list to file and compare too list files.

    If you insist to use image ID or name, you can dump first layer's file list on-the-fly:

    $ docker save alpine |tar xO '*/layer.tar' | tar tv
    drwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/ash -> /bin/busybox
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/base64 -> /bin/busybox
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/bbconfig -> /bin/busybox
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0      821408 10 27 01:15 bin/busybox
    

    After all, i suggest you start the container then stop it, then you can get a merged file list as described in first way.

    2017/02/01: The fastest way to show container's file list, you are free to enter its root dir to read files:

    # PID=$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' CONTAIN_ID_OR_NAME)
    # cd /proc/$PID/root && ls -lF
    drwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/ash -> /bin/busybox
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/base64 -> /bin/busybox
    lrwxrwxrwx  0 0      0           0 12 27 06:32 bin/bbconfig -> /bin/busybox
    -rwxr-xr-x  0 0      0      821408 10 27 01:15 bin/busybox
    

    Note, if you are using docker-machine, you need first enter it by docker-machine ssh then sudo sh.

    Now you get the root dir of the two container, you can use diff to compare them directly.

    Have a look at:

    https://github.com/moul/docker-diff

    They list Brew install instructions for Mac, I'm assuming it's a Bash script, so I assume it could be made to work in other *nix environments.
