Hi,

If you want to learn to transfer a Docker image created in one machine to another machine without using any repository in the process the this answer is for you.

You can create my own image in your computer and then you can transfer to another computer without using the repository.

Step 1: Create your image

You can to build your image with the command:

docker build -t myimage .

Step 2: Create tar of your image

Once your image is build successfully you can export to a tar file with following command:
