This is similar to 5 exporting the Docker image directly from the builder, except that it preserves 6 the hierarchy of images and metadata. 7 layout: docs 8 page_title: 'Docker Save - Post-Processors' 9 sidebar_current: 'docs-post-processors-docker-save' 10 --- 11 12 # Docker Save Post-Processor 13 14 Type: `docker-save` 15 16 The Packer Docker Save post-processor takes an artifact from the [docker 17 builder](/docs/builders/docker.html) that was committed and saves it to a file. 18 This is similar to exporting the Docker image directly from the builder, except 19 that it preserves the hierarchy of images and metadata. 20 21 We understand the terminology can be a bit confusing, but we've adopted the 22 terminology from Docker, so if you're familiar with that, then you'll be 23 familiar with this and vice versa. 24 25 ## Configuration 26 27 The configuration for this post-processor only requires one option. 28 29 - `path` (string) - The path to save the image. 30 31 ## Example 32 33 An example is shown below, showing only the post-processor configuration: 34 35 ``` json 36 { 37 "type": "docker-save", 38 "path": "foo.tar" 39 } 40 ```
