Understanding Docker: part 2 – Tools: Dive

Understanding Docker can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledges about Cloud technologies I started to create sketchnotes about Docker. I think it could be a good way, more visual, to explain Docker (and others technologies like Kubernetes and Istio).

We continue the serie of Docker Sketchnotes with a focus about a useful tool: Dive.

Alt Text

If you are interested, I published all the sketchnotes on Docker (and new ones!) to make a "book" of 93 pages: "Understanding Docker in a visual way".

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

I pulled the dive image and tried to run it using this command :
docker run --rm -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
wagoodman/dive:latest (dive arguments...)

what should i put in place of the dive arguments?

Hi,
the argument for dive is an image name for example ;)

I love this! I've been trying to grapple with Docker and see how to best use it. The visualizations and thought process are really helpful. Looking forward to more posts. Thank you!
