Option to import tarbar Image #108

Closed martialblog closed 2 years ago

martialblog commented 3 years ago

Hey,

I've been thinking about an option to import tarbar Image with archive://.

The rationale behind it is that you might not have access to Docker/Podman on the same node which runs enroot; or maybe there is no Container Registry available.

This way you could develop an Image, podman/docker save imagename > my-image.tar it, copy it to where enroot is and then enroot import archive://home/hans/my-image.tar.

Yes? No? Maybe?

I guess one could also pre-generate the SquashFS for enroot :thinking:

docker save format is kind of a pain to work with and there is no real benefit vs just using the dockerd:// scheme. This would add a lot of complexity for no real benefit, you can just have enroot installed on your build node and copy over the squashfs.

Hm yeah, you mean stitching all the layers back together right?
