// pull here, load anywhere.

Name an image and get it back as one archive — ready for docker load on a machine that cannot reach a registry. Images are pulled for linux/amd64.

Docker Hub by default. Other registries with their host name, e.g. ghcr.io/owner/app.

2 · Archive format
On the offline machine

  1. Load the image into Docker

    Copy the file to the target machine. There is nothing to unpack: Docker reads the archive as it is.
