FreightView

FreightView is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) application for viewing content of local docker images. It provides a simple and efficient way to explore the layers and files within your Docker images. It is inspired by the dive application.

Why use FreightView?

🔥 FreightView is fast and efficient. It caches layers that have been already viewed so there are no unnecessary parcing, especially for common large base images for containers you use.

🚀 It is written in Rust, which means it is fast, has a small footprint and is memory-safe.

🖥️ It is a TUI application, which means it can be run in a terminal and does not require a graphical user interface. This makes it lightweight and easy to use on remote servers or in environments where a GUI is not available.
