pt The images are stored in /var/lib/docker/graph/<id>/layer.

Note that images are just diffs from the parent image. The parent ID is stored with the image's metadata /var/lib/docker/graph/<id>/json.

When you docker run an image. AUFS will 'merge' all layers into one usable file system.

docker inspect docker images --no-trunc=true
