Location of docker images downloaded by Docker (1.9.1) on Mac OS X
docker, macos
Solution
For someone who is using Docker toolbox (that uses docker-machine), the answers concerning boot2docker on Mac OS X is not valid. The docker-machine VM is called "default" and it exists in `/Users/<username>/.docker/machine/machines/default/` directory.
Note: I have also added this answer to this question: Where are Docker images stored on the host machine? but I am answering here as well so that it's easier to find the answer for someone specifically looking for Mac OS X and new version of Docker.
Problem
Where are the docker images located once they are downloaded from docker hub in Mac OSX. For example if I run a command like: ``` docker run hello-world ``` the image is downloaded and the container is run but where is that image located on my system? Note: Where are Docker images stored on the host machine? This question has answers related to linux machine, mainly. The answers for Mac OS X are considering that boot2docker is being used alongside docker installation, which is not the case for me.
