Checking a docker image content

The easiest approach is to just start a shell container:

How to see docker image contents

Changing docker IP prefix

By default docker uses 172.17.0.0/16 subnet. To change it to somewhere else, create the file /etc/docker/daemon.json with a content similar to the following one:

{
    "bip": "192.168.0.1/24"
}
