Here\u2019s how you can distribute an image without the recipient needing to run <code>docker build<\/code> themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a pre-built image instead of a <code>Dockerfile<\/code> lets you be sure your colleague is running the exact same software. Re-running the build could result in a subtly different environment. You\u2019ve got two options to distribute your image, depending on the situation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-a-docker-registry\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_A_Docker_Registry\"><\/span>Use A Docker Registry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to share a Docker image is to push it up to a Docker registry. This functionality is fully integrated into the Docker CLI. You don\u2019t need to make any manual file transfers when using this method.<\/p>\n<p>The default registry is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hub.docker.com\">Docker Hub<\/a>. This allows you to publicly share images and gives you one private repository too. Create an account on Docker Hub, then run <code>docker login<\/code> in your terminal. Supply your account details to connect the Docker CLI to your account.<\/p>\n<p>Next build your image as normal, using <code>docker build<\/code>. Add a tag that starts with your Docker Hub username:<\/p>\n<pre>docker build -t my-account\/my-image:latest .<\/pre>\n<p>Then use the <code>docker push<\/code> command to push the tagged image up to Docker Hub:<\/p>\n<pre>docker push my-account\/my-image:latest<\/pre>\n<p>Now your image is safely stored in Docker Hub. Other users will be able to pull it down using the <code>docker pull<\/code> or <code>docker run<\/code> commands. You\u2019re done sharing your image!<\/p>\n<p>For real-world use, Docker Hub might not be sufficient. If you\u2019re part of a development team, you\u2019ll probably want to keep images on your own server, instead of the public Hub registry. You can create a self-hosted registry server instead to get private storage that\u2019s fully compatible with the <code>docker push<\/code> and <code>docker pull<\/code> commands. This lets you easily share images with anyone who can access your private registry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"exporting-images\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exporting_Images\"><\/span>Exporting Images<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If using a registry isn\u2019t an option, you can manually export Docker image archives instead. This functionality is also built into the Docker CLI. Build your image and then use the <code>docker save<\/code> command to get a <code>tar<\/code> archive of its contents:<\/p>\n<pre>docker save my-image:latest &gt; my-image.tar<\/pre>\n<p>The export might take a few moments to complete. Docker will include everything needed to recreate the image \u2013 that\u2019s all the layers in your <code>Dockerfile<\/code>, as well as the layers inherited from your base image. The archive will also contain information on tags associated with the image.<\/p>\n<p>As the output is a simple <code>tar<\/code> file, you\u2019re now free to distribute it in whichever way you choose. Archives could be quite large so you\u2019ll usually be best off by uploading it to a file server or a cloud storage provider.<\/p>\n<p>To use an exported image, run the <code>docker load<\/code> command. This accepts a <code>tar<\/code> archive produced by <code>docker save<\/code> as an input stream. Docker will load the archive\u2019s contents and add it to your list of local images.<\/p>\n<pre>docker load &lt; my-image.tar<\/pre>\n<p>You\u2019ll now see the newly imported image in your <code>docker images<\/code> output. You\u2019re ready to start a new container with <code>docker run<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>Exporting and importing images adds a few extra steps over using a Docker registry. You\u2019ll need to manually transfer the file between the clients. Consequently, this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach is less suitable for frequent use, although it does have its benefits too.<\/p>\n<p>Converting images to a <code>tar<\/code> archive can be useful for long-term storage. If you\u2019re running out of space on your registry server, archiving old images and uploading their <code>tars<\/code> to backup file storage could be a cost-effective way to reclaim some capacity. You\u2019d still be able to recover the image if you ever needed to in the future.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-about-docker-export\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_%E2%80%9Cdocker_export%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>What About \u201cdocker export\u201d?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Docker has another export-related command, <code>docker export<\/code>. This should not be confused with <code>docker save<\/code>. Whereas <code>save<\/code> works with images, <code>export<\/code> actually manages individual <em>containers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><code>docker export<\/code> will produce a <code>tar<\/code> archive of a container\u2019s filesystem. This can be used to restore a replica of the container on another machine. If you inspect the archive\u2019s contents, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s just a regular Linux root filesystem, with directories like <code>\/bin<\/code>, <code>\/etc<\/code> and <code>\/usr<\/code>.<\/p>\n<pre>docker export my-container &gt; my-container.tar<\/pre>\n<p><code>docker export<\/code> is useful if you want to snapshot a container for later restoration. However, container archives don\u2019t import in the way you might first expect. As a container represents a live, running environment, you can\u2019t \u201cimport\u201d one directly. Instead, importing a container archive constructs a <em>new<\/em> image.<\/p>\n<pre>docker import my-container.tar my-image:latest<\/pre>\n<p>In this example, Docker will take the filesystem in <code>my-container.tar<\/code> and automatically construct a new image called <code>my-image:latest<\/code>. This will have the same filesystem but not the same base image or Docker configuration as the original container you exported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Get Started with Github&#8217;s New Docker Container Registry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Docker makes it easy to share application images and development environments with your collaborators. It\u2019s usually best to push images to a centralized repository that everyone else can pull from. In some scenarios, it may make more sense to export an image to an archive that you distribute manually.<\/p>\n<p>Docker also lets you export a container\u2019s filesystem for later restoration to an image. Be careful when using this as it\u2019s not an exact reconstruction and not all filesystem data gets included. Any volumes mounted to the original container won\u2019t be included in the filesystem archive, so you should take steps to back up these separately.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
