Docker save and load images offline
In some rare occasions, it was beneficial for me to save (export) the docker as a local file and load (import) the local file as docker image. Hence, I am posting the commands to save, load and tag the images to enable offline working with docker. In order to save the image, first we need to pull the image from a docker registry (default docker hub or any other registry). Pull docker image: docker pull postgres:10.6 Save (export) docker image: docker save -o /tmp/postgres-10.6.tar postgres:10.6 Load (import) docker image: docker load -i /tmp/postgres-10.6.tar See the loaded image: docker images postgres:10.6 Create a new tag from the loaded image: docker tag postgres:10.6 org.example/postgres:10.6
