Thanks for this. That's exactly what i was looking for. The only thing that bugs me a bit about all the current |

Not really. Docker wants the image to have a name. This is orthogonal from the whole loading process. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could you enrich the test by adding a testcase for these features?
Another way to manage the image would be to use Skopeo since it is able to pull image from a registry as well as from local file. But we would have to change the interface of this module, and i'm not sure this is what we want ;)
For instance, instead of image, we could define these two options:
imageUrl = "docker://alpine"
imageName = "alpine"
or
imageUrl = "docker-archive://${dockerTools.buildImage {name...}}"
imageName = "myImage"
These attribute could then be used to build a Skopeo command:
skopeo copy ${imageUrl} docker-deamon://${imageName}
which loads a image to the local Docker deamon.

I definitely tried to keep the module interface stable. There are other concerns that I would probably like to address if we were to break the interface, but I don't have the time to rewrite the module right now. |

I've modified the tests to use the new |

I finally ran the test on my laptop and it was green. |
