docker: Save an image by redirecting `stdout` to a tar archive.
$ docker save ${image}:${tag} > ${filename-tar}
try on your machine
This command is used in Docker to save a Docker image as a tar file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
docker save
: This is the Docker command that is used to save an image.${image}:${tag}
: This refers to the image name and tag. The${image}
variable represents the name of the Docker image, and the${tag}
variable represents the tag assigned to that image. For example, if the image name ismyapp
and the tag islatest
, this part of the command would bemyapp:latest
.>
: This is a shell redirect operator that is used to redirect the output of the command to a file.${filename-tar}
: This is the name of the output tar file that will be created. The${filename}
variable represents the desired name of the file, and the-tar
suffix is added to indicate that it is a tar file. For example, if the desired output file name ismyapp-image
, this part of the command would bemyapp-image.tar
.
So, when you run this command, it will save the specified Docker image as a tar file with the provided filename.
