How to inspect a single layer within a Docker image?

Question

I need to get more information on a single layer -- possibly by the layer id -- such as Created & Last Modified date.

Is there anything similar to docker image inspect for a single layer within a Docker image?

You can use the dive tool. It allows to view file changes in the image file system between layers

I didn't want to use any tool other than Docker itself. Although yours is a powerful option to get inside each single layer, what I needed was something much simpler/basic. – andreagalle Sep 27 '21 at 14:13
you can use the dive docker image https://github.com/wagoodman/dive#installation if that makes things easier – Noam Yizraeli Sep 27 '21 at 15:31
