Can you download Docker images with no Docker in the VM?

I need to be able to download Docker images in Linux VMs that are not allowed to have Docker installed. Is that possible ?

Solution

  • You can save a Docker image as a tar file in a computer with docker (you always need docker to use a registry. ie dockerhub). save it like this:

    docker save -o <path to generated tar file> <image name>:<image tag>

    then copy the files using cp or scp

    or you could use something like moby project explained in this question before

    How do I download Docker images without using the pull command?
