Location of docker images downloaded by Docker (1.9.1) on Mac OS X

Question

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
<         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I want to locate the docker images and copy them to another location.

Use docker save to Save one or more images to a tar archive (streamed to STDOUT by default)
