docker: Load a Docker image from a specific file.
$ docker load --input ${path-to-image_file-tar}
try on your machine

The command "docker load --input ${path-to-image_file.tar}" is used to load a Docker image from a tar file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "docker load" is a Docker command that is used to load an image or a repository from a tar archive or from a URL.
  • "--input" is an option that specifies the input tar file that contains the Docker image.
  • "${path-to-image_file.tar}" is a placeholder for the actual file path of the tar file that contains the Docker image. You would need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to the tar file on your system.

So, when you run this command, Docker will load the image contained in the specified tar file into the Docker images repository on your system.
