Unfortunatly, the docker load command doesn't create a docker image when I executed "tar -cC 'example' . | docker load"
Can you help me please ?

Thank you !

1) What image are you trying to load ?
2) Is there an error message of sorts ?

Hi Tomas,
1) I'm trying to load this image: eesprit/example-voting-app
2) No, I get no message.

I'm on windows, and I'm using Docker Toolbox 19.03.5

Thanks a lot.

I updated the article to show the output of downloading the "hello-world" image and added some clarifications to the process. To clarify:

  • The "example" argument is the directory were the image will be downloaded. You should load it from the same place.
  • It is strange that you don't get an error message. I never got a message in any of the scenarios I tested
