## Load/Save Import/Export
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Docker allows you to load/save images and import/export containers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Load/Save image
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Load an image from file:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker load < my_image.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Save an existing image:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker save my_image:my_tag > my_image.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Import/Export container
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Import a container as an image from file:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cat my_container.tar.gz | docker import - my_image:my_tag
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Export an existing container:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker export my_container > my_container.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Difference between loading a saved image and importing an exported container as an image ?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Loading an image using the `load` command creates a new image including its history.
|
||||||
|
Importing a container as an image using the `import` command creates an new image excluding the history which results in a smaller image size compared to loading an image.

Exposing incoming ports through the host container is [fiddly but doable](https://docs.docker.com/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports).
