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

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

Here is a breakdown of the command and its options:

  • "docker load" is the Docker command for loading an image or repository from a tar archive file. It is used to restore images previously saved using the "docker save" command.
  • "--quiet" is an optional flag that makes the command run silently without printing any output to the console. It suppresses the informational messages usually displayed during the load process.
  • "--input ${path-to-image_file.tar}" is used to specify the path to the tar file containing the Docker image. The placeholder "${path-to-image_file.tar}" should be replaced with the actual path to the tar file on your system. This argument is necessary for the command to know which image to load.

To use this command, you would need to have Docker installed and running on your machine. The command will load the image from the specified tar file and make it available for use in Docker.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
