This command should let you explore a running docker container:

docker exec -it name-of-container bash

ls -lsa

cd ..
This command should let you explore a docker image:

docker run --rm -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash name-of-image
once inside do:

ls -lsa
or any other bash command like:

cd ..
The -it stands for interactive... and tty
