Docker Load

Docker Load is a command that allows you to load saved images from a .tar file into your Docker installation. This is useful for sharing saved images with others, or for backing up and restoring images within your own Docker environment.

How to Use Docker Load

To use Docker Load, you'll first need to have a saved Docker image as a .tar file. You can create one by using the docker save command. Once you have your .tar file, you can use Docker Load to load it into your Docker environment in three easy steps:

1. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where your .tar file is located.
2. Run the command docker load < my_image.tar, replacing my_image.tar with the name of your .tar file.
3. Docker Load will now load your image into Docker. You can verify it's there by running the command docker images and checking for your image in the list.

Conclusion

Docker Load is a simple yet powerful command that allows you to load saved Docker images from a .tar file. It's a must-know for anyone working with Docker, as it makes sharing and backing up images much easier. Give it a try today!
