Actually wanted to know how the docker images size is calculated on “docker images” command. Since If I start the container from this image, the disk usage is around 600MB. But I don’t know why the image size shows around 800MB on docker images command view.
Docker images command output :
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
test_image latest 0c4e9c381181 5 minutes ago 823MB
Container Disk Usage - that started from “test_image”:
