Open an image in an interactive TUI, browse the filesystem each layer added, spot wasted bytes, and catch image regressions before they ship — from a single static binary. A modern image inspector for the questions docker history and docker inspect can't answer: \"which layer added this file?\" , \"how many bytes are wasted?\" , \"what actually changed between two builds?\" --- Table of contents - Why LayerX - Quick start - Features - Install - Container image (Docker, Podman, any OCI runtime) - Container engines — Docker, Podman, OCI archives - Multi-platform images ( --platform ) - CI mode & GitHub Actions - Compare two images - JSON export - Theming - Caching - Verifying releases (Sigstore, SLSA, SBOM) - FAQ - Troubleshooting - Contributing - Migrating from Dive --- Why LayerX Container images look opaque until something goes wrong: a 2 GB image that should have been 200 MB, a mystery file that reappeared after you thought you deleted it, a base-image bump that quietly doubled the layer count. LayerX Image Inspector opens the image and shows you exactly what's inside — layer by layer, byte by byte. Use it when you need to: - Debug bloated images and find the exact RUN step responsible. - Review the filesystem impact of a Dockerfile change before it ships. - Gate CI on layer waste or efficiency thresholds — with a clear","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/deveshctl","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/deveshctl/layerx/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
