This is similar to exporting the Docker image 13 directly from the builder, except that it preserves the hierarchy of 14 images and metadata. 15 16 We understand the terminology can be a bit confusing, but we've 17 adopted the terminology from Docker, so if you're familiar with that, then 18 you'll be familiar with this and vice versa. 19 20 ## Configuration 21 22 The configuration for this post-processor is extremely simple. 23 24 * `path` (string) - The path to save the image. 25 26 ## Example 27 28 An example is shown below, showing only the post-processor configuration: 29 30 <pre class="prettyprint"> 31 { 32 "type": "docker-save", 33 "path": "foo.tar" 34 } 35 </pre>
