## Docker load
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`docker load` restores a Docker image from a tar archive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is mostly used in conjunction with `docker save` command to transfer a Docker image without using Docker Hub or another registry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To load an image from a file named `nginx-backup.tar`, the following command can be run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
docker load -i nginx-backup.tar
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command also recognizes gzip, bzip2 and xz compression, and decompresses the file automatically. Therefore, it can be used even without decompressing manually:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
docker load -i nginx-backup.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
