I created a Docker image. Its repository name is docker-hello-world and its Docker Image ID is e127d87570f9.

I understood that it should be placed in /var/lib/docker/overlay2/, but when I open this folder this is what I see: 

$ sudo ls -alF /var/lib/docker/overlay2/
total 40
drwx------ 10 root root 4096 Dec 28 17:28 ./

Do you know where to look for the image file?

    Why do you need to know this? If you want it in a file you can always execute a `docker save -o output_file e127d87570f9` and you will have it independently of where Docker keeps it. – Victor Dec 28 '19 at 16:05

  • In fedora 29, the image file is stored in `/var/lib/docker/overlay2` by default. see [answer-66256522 of Where are Docker images stored on the host machine?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19234831/where-are-docker-images-stored-on-the-host-machine/66256522#66256522) – Nick Dong Feb 18 '21 at 08:59
