ctr: Pull an image.
$ ctr images pull ${image}
try on your machine

The command "ctr images pull ${image}" is used to retrieve a container image from a remote container registry and store it locally on the machine.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "ctr": This is a command-line tool for interacting with container runtimes.
  • "images": This is a subcommand of the "ctr" tool used for container image operations.
  • "pull": This is a specific action within the "images" subcommand, indicating the intention to pull an image from a registry.
  • "${image}": This is a placeholder variable representing the specific image you want to pull. You would replace "${image}" with the name or identifier of the desired container image.

When you run this command with the desired image name or identifier, the "ctr" tool will initiate a connection to the specified container registry and download the image onto your local machine. This enables you to use the image for creating and running containers on your system.
