I have a image and I want to know what is the base image used to build it. In other words what was the
FROM base_image?
I have tried docker inspect which was very informative but it doesn't answer what we are looking for.

`docker history $image-id` command might help. But it ddidn't seems to print the base image. There is another such similar question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45821389/is-docker-inspect-f-parent-a-safe-way-to-get-the-base-image-id – mchawre Sep 11 '19 at 05:03

docker history doesn't help, docker inspect $image_id was much informative though. – prashant Sep 11 '19 at 06:37
